I also don't understand this reaction, because the guy is the developer of a chat program. It seems that if you encrypt communications and user data and do not sell personal data to third parties, then you comply with the GDPR. I don't see where those bureaucratic hoops come into play this developer is bemoaning.

If he's already handling the data securely and only keeping the data necessary for the service (which I doubt but we'll never know) all he has to do is:

- Appoint a data protection officer (himself)

- Write down the processes of how he stores data (we keep it on this database, hosted at x provider; that provider is called the data processor) and how he deletes data whenever the subject of the data requires it.

That's it.

Worst case is he really is selling personal data to third parties, and does not want to risk any fines from the EU because of it.
