German outlets are reporting about a study done by lobbyists that (miraculously) found that businesses are unhappy with the GDPR.

Obviously, this still hasn't been said enough: the GDPR's purpose isn't making businesses happy! Its purpose is to protect our rights. It's necessary because far too many businesses won't respect our privacy unless they're forced to!

If running their business responsibly is such a huge burden for them, maybe they should let someone else do it.

@r_alb I do find it easy to believe that businesspeople would be more happy if they could just profit from selling our data as they wish.
Not a groundbreaking discovery.

True! The study's conclusion should have been that we need new businesspeople.
