> the vast majority of companies just turned off all operations to avoid an GDPR mess

Are you saying that regulation is effective? :)



Yeah, from the perspective that tons of companies stopped doing business in Europe


Can't think of a single company which did that and had any impact on me. I'm not able to read some news on a local foreign website once every few months and that's kind of everything.


Sure, as long as we're not insinuating that's an inherently undesirable thing.

We're quite literally on a thread involving a product that collected tonnes of sensitive user data without a clear opt-out mechanism while failing to be an effective custodian, after all.


Sounds like the next wave of startup opportunities to me. "Obeying The Law And Not Being An Asshole As A Service."
