Idk about EU copyright thing, but the others does not make anything impossible. Sure, cookie law is stupid but otherwise it’s good. GDPR is the best idea i’ve heard from any gov in a loooong time

GDPR means one person businesses making $80k a year can no longer exist because the cost of a GDPR lawyer means they won’t make enough money to be viable. So yeah GDPR is great if you hate small business and want the whole world to be run by a small group of megacorps.
-
Why do you need to hire a lawyer? Just working by the rules and using a privacy-policy-generator should be fine for most cases, no?
-
Not if you get sued
-
How many cases do you know where a small business got sued?
-
The law just got passed. Weird thing to say
-
There is EUR 20M in fines MINIMUM if you get fined by EU. TWENTY MILLION EUROS

The ethics behind them have generally been great imho but guidance on actual implementation has been rubbish. Way more complex for startups and why consent forms are the new “splash screen”

Other EU countries implemented thresholds for VATMOSS. The UK government didn’t. That is a UK problem not an EU problem.
-
Not NL either
-
There's 28 EU states, how many have tresholds? I think very few
-
None of them. VAT for digital products (aka VATMOS) has no thresholds. The EU Commission is thinking about setting a threshold to help SME.

If GDPR makes your startup impossible I dont want it.
-
Nice kneejerk reaction but it's deeper than this .It's an enormous effort to try and comply to these laws (esp. VATMOSS, GDPR and EU Copyright soon) for a small business and I don't know any small business owner who is actually compliant.
-
I get the huge impact being compliant with the overall regulatory landscape. And Article 13 being horrible. But putting customers first, as you demonstrated already, helps implementing GDPR. Startups based on ad-tech tho ...
-
1.) Ads are the gasoline of our consumerism based world, 2.) The only companies benefitting from GDPR are the very companies GDPR is trying to target. Nobody is implementing GDPR, they're implementing companies that implement GDPR (namely Google.)
-
About that gasoline ... Im rooting for something else ...http://blogs.harvard.edu/doc/2018/05/12/gdpr/ …

My only point being: whatever alternative you can come up with, Google will own it. And so GDPR has only impacted small businesses.
-
Same reasoning more or less is valid for Microsoft. Although privacy was a big motivator to move away from Google for our business, we just use another BigCo. ;) Talking in cloud for business context tho.
-
It has impacted us, a lot, and I wouldnt call a 100x10^6 € a year business small. Other context maybe.
