New GDPR law becomes bedtime story for grown-ups

I was about to bash them for mocking an important document, but they might be right. I would love to see efforts on simplifying the law, "refactoring it" with the ultimate rule that it's something that everyone should be able to read and understand, measured by some "literacy score" as a core human competence. It's only fair given that everyone is expected to know it.

The problem is that the article doesn't explain why this law got long, reasons for its complexities... and this is why I believe it's poor writing. They're calling out GDPR specifically while there's a lot of similarly important documents that are not shorter. Think of taxes for example - VAT in EU is a nightmare that makes GDPR look tiny. And it affects everyone - ultimately you need to hire an accountant to run a company. It's not fair not to underline that.

This is a PR article disguised as an anti-GDPR article.

An no, the EU will never get it right and create a short & simple law as long as they have to contend with massive corporate lobbying against the said law and bad corporate actors which try to work around it.
