Stefano Marinelli on Nostr: Regulations, originally designed to protect citizens and end consumers, are evolving ...
Regulations, originally designed to protect citizens and end consumers, are evolving into such complexity that they end up limiting choices.
Today, I received two calls about this. One from a client (amazing people, both personally and professionally). They received a request from a minor client working in the social sector, to whom they provide a service without any profit, charging only a flat rate for reimbursement of expenses. Their goal is to help in their mission.
But there's an issue: their social classification forces them to obtain certifications—required from their suppliers—that would cost so much they make it impossible. In my opinion, these certifications are unnecessary and inapplicable to their reality, yet there seems to be no choice. The alternative? Turning to a big player. That way, they’d feel reassured because "no one has ever been fired for choosing ***."
Now, forcing them to spend more, hand over their data to a foreign company (which could use it for AI training), and receive inferior service—just to have some papers that would protect them from potential lawsuits or fines—doesn't seem fair. A worse service, lower security, and far higher costs.
Regulations are welcome, but within reasonable limits.
