  The alternative is that they tweak the laws without much thought...

    Isn’t that the current status quo?

      The GDPR has over 100k words, and those words are certainly less than 0.01% of the thought that has gone into this problem.

    Agile laws might not be so terrible.
    • JadeNB 11mo ago
      Counteropinion: agile laws would be absolutely terrible. Either people wouldn't take them seriously because they're going to change in a few minutes anyway, or people would take them seriously and be bound by law by the equivalent of late-night untested code that seemed like it should work.

        Charitable interpretation of their comment: Law is implemented and then rapidly improved upon. But yes, I think your take is more realistic as any measure that allows rapid changes also allows willful politics to rapidly make a mess.

          Imagine being charged for something that you didn't yet know was a crime because you didn't watch the morning news.
