No need to be snarky - you do have a good point that can stand on its own. However the issue is not black and white. And just because you think the GDPR is a step forward, some people disagree. Even the Monal guy might agree with you - he just doesn't think it is worth it. And why wouldn't we expect strictly enforced food safety regulations to prevent meals being shared? It might be worth it, but it doesn't mean there won't be collateral damage.


My comment is not intended to be snarky. I am aware that it sounds otherwise and I thought about adding a few more sentences to counter that, but there is just not much I have to add, it would just make the comment longer. So I decided to keep it short even if it might sound a bit snarky hoping that everybody is able to infer that I wanted to say that this is not some unique burden thrown at software developers but that we were some kind of exception not having to deal with that much regulation as other industries.
