Again, you don't want to deal with the "huge complexity" of making sure you keep your users personal data secure, don't store any of your users personal data, just like what Daho0n said.

GDPR is something you have to follow if you meet the requirements (like collecting personal information about your users and more), not something you have to follow as soon as you publish a HTML file on the internet.

I understand that businesses don't have the time (or maybe care?) to fully understand GDPR before jumping to solutions, but I would think the crowd here on HN to do better than that. Read through GDPR and you'll see it's much easier to follow than you think, it is surprisingly small and easy to approach: https://gdpr.eu/tag/gdpr/

Yeah. GDPR is an example of very good legislation and regulation. I have read through the entire text and it is comprehensive and focused on the rights of individuals. There is next to nothing wrong with it at all.
