You haven't heard it because it's not spin, it's from an engineer's point of view. That's not the view you hear in the news when it comes to these things.

HN seems like an odd place to assume that people only hear about things from the news and aren't engineers themselves.

i am a dev that has to deal with these regulations in my day to day. it is a pain, it is not freeing in any sense, and it makes my models worse.

granted, i think there are good reasons for it, but it does not make my life easier for sure.

Eh, Retention and Deletion are both pain for devs. Not having to care is the happy state.
