I doubt anybody wants to deal with fire safety inspections either.
Though I'm quite sure you will change your mind when your personal data gets hacked or your office burns down.
- gmueckl 9d agoSome of my personal data has leaked. Some of it has to be public because of some laws. Fire safety is less onerous and less complex.

If there is one thing that is incredibly complex, it is fire codes - in no small part because these vary from town to town, or to be more precise, the height of their portable ladder trucks. Once you build higher than these, you have to plan for a second escape route. That's not that bad of a thing if you work exclusively in one area... but good luck if you operate across the nation or, worse, internationally because everyone does things a liiiitle bit differently.
- thrwl007748 9d agoHave you ever been the responsible person for a public building, a big concert or anything of that ilk? Suuuuure, fire and work safety are easy peasy, uncomplicated and totally trivial compared to the GDPR. And the laws and regulations involved are so incredibly brief, well-written and stay consistent over a long time... o_O /s
- gmueckl 9d agoI was talking about the burden on small companies. You are looking at different scales already. Also, I'd take fire safety over GDPR if I had a choice. That is much easier to get a handle on.
- mschuster91 9d agoEven with a small pub that you run with your friend, you have to deal and comply with fire safety, toilet, public health and a whole lot of other codes.
