I'm all for privacy but the EU really harmed SMEs that cannot afford expensive legal help.
- chrismorgan 4y agoGDPR as a whole is very accessible legislation. The entire document (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...) isn’t short: 54,000 words. But it’s very skimmable so that you can obviously skip quickly over the considerable majority as irrelevant to your situation, and generally pretty easy to read. The parts relevant to the typical developer or business person are actually only a few thousand words of chapters 1–4. I recommend just reading it if it might be relevant to your business, rather than relying on others’ writings about it. Most of the lawyerly arguments come from people trying to justify bad stuff that they used to get away with but which is clearly contrary to the spirit and generally text of GDPR. (This is my uncharitable description.)
