You go through more effort, time and work in just this one step every day than "all this work the GDPR causes"



"Is this regulation about no lead in our water helping us? Btw I have a triple filtration and reverse osmosis system at home"


...and ?

"I fixed problem for myself but I'd like for it to not be a problem at all for other people that are poorer or less technical than me" is perfectly reasonable stance to take.


Remove all the tracking code BOOM, thousands lines of code less to manage.

GDPR is only a problem if your main business is selling people's data. As it should be.


GDPR doesn't cause this work. The industry you're busy defending is causing this work. It's almost trivially easy for most companies to comply with GDPR. Instead they want to sell your data to hundreds of trackers.


Note: I've misread the comment I replied to, and blitzar person wasn't defending the industry.

I should re-read things before I reply :)
