Yeah, anyone who says GDPR is "easy" is just lying through their teeth. It really is folks who have not actually had to implement or try to implement anything.

The best is they claim (falsely) that you don't actually have to pop-up the consent dialogs. Not really true on almost any actual website that does anything anyone wants.

GDPR is easy when your only income is what your users pay you and you are not interested in their personal data. My company barely changed some internal documents and that was it.

I think it's easy to comply with GDPR if you run a website that doesn't offer any services or generate any income. I have to believe this is where a lot of these type of HN comments come from.

Even then it's actually not easy. You embed a youtube video? You host a font on a US CDN? There are TONs of gotchas even for the "free" sites. And then if you actually are running a business online - and want to let folks do almost anything, better get the pop-ups popping!
