Most people don't read any law their entire lifetime and hope for the best. But are you willing to risk it, if you're trying to do something? It does not even have to be complicated, it can be something as simple as having a website. Suddenly you have to deal with GDPR and it's not an easy task, otherwise we wouldn't have so many discussions and consultants, not to mention the fact that some websites prefer to just block European users.

The PDF for GDPR has 88 pages [1]. And it's just one thing. The AI act has another 144 pages [2]. Who's gonna read them?
