But these privacy laws do require a response when you collect data, no?


Not until you're collecting data at the scale where you'd have a legal@yourdomain team to forward anything that vaguely smells like a legal inquiry. Which is why my tip applied for "non-business" cases.


Is it reasonable to expect people to know that? If I'm below that level, what are the odds of me knowing the law well enough to know that it doesn't apply to me?


> Is it reasonable to expect people to know that?

Yes. It's not hard.


Do you think this applies in general to questions of legal liability, or is this one unique? If it's unique, why should anyone think that this case is unique? If you think in general it's "not hard" to know things about legal liability, either you're Elle Woods or you're an extremely overconfident fool.
