> It’s increased regulation around a subject that I was not doing in the first place

Maybe you were handling personal data correctly. Very many were not (witness numerous data breaches and private data exploited that was held for no reason). Therefore regulation was needed.

> We need more competition

Competition is good. A race to the bottom is not.

Where does relaxed regulation and the reintroduction of morality into business mean a race to the bottom?

It also could’ve been implemented in such a way where there were no required new positions and the gov spent tax dollars to write a greatly detailed dummies guide to GDPR, how to implement it, etc so that smaller companies without the resources would have just as much of an advantage.
