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 have implemented processes for staying GDPR compliant. It's really annoying and gets in the way of building other features. But in the end, most of it can be simplified by a few architectural design decisions. If you think about your users' rights from the beginning, most of the problems are easily resolved. If they are an afterthought, that's when things get ugly.
