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 In other news, businesses are also unhappy with laws that
* Prohibit them from extracting labour outside work hours without overtime pay
* Force them to offer parental leave with pay
* Prohibit them from employing children

Won't somebody think of the poor innocent multinational enterprise whose plans are being thwarted by "onerous" and "burdensome" regulations?
