>> I don't understand why - the regs seem reasonable and not especially difficult to meet unless your business is built on wilful abuse of personal data.

My intuition is that the people who complain are that fraction of developers who actually care about their profits more than their users' privacy.

I'm sure that's a big part of it when every app wants to do a data grab. I'm also left thinking US law doesn't really do proportionate after a few of these discussions! :)

For us in Europe 20 years of DPA must help - I doubt there's many here would want to go back to pre-data protection.
