alt Hacker NewsWhy is a mom and pop ceramics business violating consumer privacy laws?
Shopify is trying to avoid California having jurisdiction (to try them for privacy violations), because Shopify *knows* they're violating California consumer privacy laws.
The idea that enforcing consumer protection laws will somehow result in an explosion of frivolous lawsuits, or the death of business confidence, or will chill business development, is just a lie that companies push to fearmonger away consumer protections.
I understand Shopify's tactics, but the results are the same for Mom & Pop regardless of how they came about.

That's just some words; how will it not affect Mom & Pop?

Because they don't have a legal department to make sure they comply with the rules in 50 states and N countries.
