I sort of agree? I think it's important that people take data privacy and security seriously. I don't think someone, however, needs a nuanced understanding of what constitutes legitimate interest for data processing, or needs to have an attorney from every country or region they do business in on standby.
The issue is that vendors (CRM, marketing automation, etc.) are trying to offload too much of the risk and accountability to their own end users, which leaves startups piecing together tech stacks that are sometimes not even legally compliant in their default settings. Not OK.
That's definitely true, but I'm not too worried about it. It will be a short-term headache, but I think eventually processes will be refined and new models of responsibility will evolve.
