Why is GDPR bad?
Learn about the challenges and criticisms of GDPR, including the complexities and costs of compliance that some businesses face, particularly SMEs.
While GDPR was introduced to protect our data and privacy, it hasn’t been without its challenges. Many businesses, especially smaller ones, find the rules a bit confusing and hard to follow. This often means they have to spend a lot of money on legal advice, hire specialists or upgrade their IT systems just to comply, which can be a real burden.
On top of that, the strict rules can sometimes slow down innovation, particularly in industries that rely heavily on data. The amount of paperwork and reports required adds another layer of hassle – making it tough for companies to keep up and stay flexible.
