Why would they give up specifically because of GDPR? It just makes no sense, there's thousands of regulations already on all the parts of the day-to-day life of running a business, I wonder how they planned to manage the rest of them.

Seriously. The Data Protection Directive alone already included most of the GDPR.

Not even going as far as IT, just labour laws are already 10x more complex and difficult to follow compared to GDPR.

Except that companies that don’t employ anyone in the EU don’t have to follow EU labor laws.
