Please don't fulminate or post shallow dismissals on HN.
It's valid to argue that laws should be legible and reasonably straightforward to comply with, and to point out that society as a whole doesn't benefit if only already-dominant global megacorps can afford to comply with laws (or bear the cost of non-compliance).
Let's make the effort to discuss the topic in a curious, conversational way, rather than with this belligerent tone. The guidelines make it clear we're looking for a higher standard of discourse than this. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Please don't comment like this on HN. It's fair enough to express disagreement with the parent comment, and I've replied to them asking them to avoid fulminating and making shallow dismissals.
But this kind of reply is also in breach of the guidelines. Replying to a bad comment with an even worse one is how death-spirals happen, and that's exactly what we're trying to avoid on HN. We've had to ask you several times before to follow the guidelines. We have to ban accounts that keep ignoring our requests. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Many words came to mind when I saw this warning, but nothing really adds to the incredulity of this one word.
