In today's highly digital landscape, consumer data privacy has become a contentious issue. Numerous high-profile data breaches have highlighted vulnerabilities in the ways companies store and manage personal information. While some argue that stringent regulations like the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are necessary to protect personal data, others claim these regulations stifle innovation by imposing onerous compliance costs on businesses, particularly startups.
The GDPR, enacted in 2018, requires businesses to obtain explicit consent from consumers before collecting their data, mandates that consumers can easily access their data and request its deletion, and stipulates hefty fines for non-compliance. Proponents of such regulations argue that they empower consumers, ensuring that they have more control over their personal data and reducing the incidence of data misuse. Critics, however, contend that these regulations disproportionately affect smaller firms, who may lack the resources to implement these changes without significant financial strain.
Despite the ongoing debate, there is evidence that GDPR has led to some positive outcomes, including increased consumer trust and more transparent data-handling practices among companies. Yet, the regulation's impact on innovation remains a hotly debated topic, with some industry experts suggesting that it has led to a decline in tech start-ups in Europe.
The passage implies that one of the consequences of GDPR might be:
A. An increase in the number of tech startups in Europe
B. A reduction in the financial resources of multinational corporations
C. A shift in how data breaches are handled globally
D. A decline in tech startups due to the burden of compliance
E. An enhancement in the methods used by hackers to breach data

Can we conclude that passage implies 'A decline in tech startups due to the burden of compliance' when it shares the view of those who are objecting GDPR. I got really confused here.
