Them: "Consider what having to comply with the GDPR means for small and mid-sized businesses!"

Me: "Consider what having small and mid-sized businnesses not complying with the GDPR means for all of us!"

I'm so tired of discussing digital privacy primarily from the point of view of companies, as businesses have always done and many politicians are increasingly doing.

We're talking about a human right! Our right! Don't let them frame it any other way!

@r_albRaphael Albert Complying with the GDPR is ridiculously easy for SMBs, stick to your core business and do it well, as long as your core business isn't trading of PII. The GDPR is a huge advantage in competition with external (i.e. US) giants, and I'm flabbergasted that the commision doesn't see they're basically handing local businesses to the US on a silver platter. (Either by acquisition or asymmetric competition.)
