“GDPR as startup killer” is a bit off. Opportunistic / frivolous lawsuits are always problematic, but the legislation is motivating much-needed improvements in handling of PI. Startups don’t get a pass to move fast and break things — that’s how we got here in the first place.

Move fast and break things doesn't cover ignoring privacy obligations and profiting from the abuse of same. GDPR just clarifies the limits and sets boundaries...

I'm pretty certain there is no subordinate clause here - its not "break things _within this perimeter_"

Sigh. You're right. That's why it's broken at any speed!

It’s also important to keep in mind that European courts (or at least German ones) are very different from US courts. Those insane million dollar lawsuits are virtually unheard of here.

And it’s not that hard simple rule of thumb: Keep as little information on your users as possible, don’t use it for anything other then exactly what they singed up for. That gets you quite far as when it comes to not getting into trouble.

Yep. And this kills many startups right out of the starting blocks too!
