GDPR is one of the best pieces of legislation to come out of the EU this century.

It is the utter bane if "move fast and break things", and I'm so glad to have it.

I will never understand the submissive disposition of Americans to billionaires who sell them out. They are all about being rugged Cow Boys while smashing systems that foster their own well-being. It's like their pathology to be independent makes them shoot at their own feet. Utterly baffling.

It is because they want to be those oppressors. And they think this type of legislation might prevent them from being such. They want to be rich and exploit other people as much as possible with little as possible consequences.
You can still move fast and break things, just treat PII like explosive radioactive waste while you're doing it.
