alt Hacker NewsFunny thing is... Startups should give a shit. Along with BigCompanies, they should also be worried about not getting sued, not leaking their customer data to Facebook, not getting 0wned by a 13 year old kid in his basement. The fact that small companies get away with being so cavalier about privacy, security, and legal issues is a failure of our regulatory system to hold them accountable.

Well, if your goal is to never let any small company succeed and grow (lest they threaten large, established companies), then regulating them into the ground sure is one way to achieve that.
90% of startups deal with unimportant data that nobody cares about, there is no need to give a shit. Companies worry enough already about getting sued, it's a massive drag on our entire society that helps nobody.
