Sadly when the EU regulates, it’s the same for everyone across the board.
It’s a mess. They require that small, one-man operations or simple corner stores treat personal data with the same diligence that banks do, under the GDPR.The concept of scale is something that is foreign to the EU.
I have a few friends that work for the government in their countries and they say GDPR requirements is destroying their local municipalities.
The only regulation from the EU that I’ve seen makes a distinction at scale, is the Digital Markets Act.
Fair point - bureaucrats aren’t always good at nuance. :/
Although I still hold out hope that with Linux, there’s room for the open/volunteer approach + a for-profit model that results in investments/profits going back into the volunteer community. After all, Linux isn’t controlled by a corporation for proprietary purposes, like Windows is by Microsoft. We’ll see…or we won’t, if Linux never reaches any kind of mainstream status. :)
