It's amazing how clueless some people are about the damage that regulation that isn't well thought out can cause to small businesses.

GDPR isn't a well thought out regulation because the regulators couldn't even take the time to give examples of how to to migrate common internet infrastructure in order to be compliant. Instead they just threw out their shitty law and told the world to figure it out.

This new link tax further proves to me that the bureaucrats in the EU have no idea what they are doing and have no technical knowledge.

Just because you are small, doesn't mean you get to abuse user data. No, parent is right, this is long overdue, and if a few data abusers must pay, so be it. Its too important to make exclusions for those that cannot keep up. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

To drive out smaller competitors from online spaces so that only the big boys can play.

It's amazing how clueless some people are about the damage that software that isn't well thought out can cause to its users.

${SOCIAL_NETWORK} isn't a well thought out business because the owners couldn't even take the time to consider common privacy expectations in order to respect their customers. Instead they just threw out their shitty service and told the world to figure it out.

This new practice of blocking EU users further proves to me that the execs in ${SOCIAL_NETWORK} have no idea what they're doing and have no good intentions.
