The DPA (Datatilsynet) in Denmark operates in the exact way stated in the article. I've fairly sure it's the same in Sweden, Germany, UK, and most of the EU. It is in stark contrast to the US.
I'm not going to link cases, because they're in Danish. They are available from their webpage, and the most resent ones are linked on the frontpage. The last few cases large companies was not in compliance and the didn't get a fine, but they are expected to address the issues, and if they don't then they will get a fine.

- hvidgaard 8y agoThey, and other DPAs have multiple decades of history of doing it this way. I trust that more than random people on the internet deciding that GDPR is bad because the DPAs theoretically could do it. We have plenty of cases serving as prior judgements, and if a DPA suddenly act with a disproportional reaction, there is multiple levels of courts that can and will reverse the decision - nationally and EU level as well.
- vntok 8y agoI know it's kind of hard to imagine coming from a US perspective, but it's "supernice" as you say for pretty much everyone in pretty much every EU country. Based on decades of precedent behaviour.
