Who else is holding them and other GAFAM accountable to any capacity? Not any single country by itself has this level of influence. Is it enough? No! Is better than anything done elsewhere? Yes!
This is what I want of the EU. I want it to do better. Especially for the environment, public transports, social protection. I believe the vote I casted last Sunday reflects that. I am sad not many of my compatriots see things the same way. But that’s the system we have to deal with. It’s true that 1 vote every 5 years, isn’t as democratic as I wish.
And I’m sure all of these things are heavily enforced and companies face hefty fines when they don’t follow these regulations lmao
They do: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDPR_fines_and_notices
Lol they fined google a whole 50 million.
Google has been fined 5 times so far.
The fact they got fined 5 times should tell you just how many fucks they give about it.
Edit: lmao the second fine they got was a bank breaking 7 millions
I went back and added all the fines google got handed
137 millions
Estimates put Google as earning 50 millions per day on ad revenues alone lmao.
GDPR is truly a devastating blow for these companies, I can’t possibly understand how they are able to cope with this incredible financial pressure.
