Legislation in favour of the consumer is almost starting to seem detrimental to the startup founder. The number of barriers, prerequisites, requirements, etc that a founder needs to consider pre-launch is bordering on insurmountable.

This might just be me feeling like this, but even considering geo-residency in some of my early prototype designs feels very odd.

I was optimistically hoping PaaS providers would catch up and fill in the middle ground. But seemingly for every Enterprise customer I'm manually filling out a document declaring our data residency, our vendors residency and how we use certain data.

I'm an advocate for privacy, but f* me this is getting to be overwhelming.
