They're not being sued, and it's not a case for the courts. They're being reported to the Data Protection Agencies in various EU countries.

- akie 8y agoYes, but that's the first step to being sued.
- henrikschroder 8y agoNo, if a company gets reported, the DPA is supposed to investigate, and help the company get compliant if it finds that it isn't. If the company is willfully refusing to become compliant, the DPA can slap the company with a proportional fine to make non-compliance more expensive than complying. And if the company is fined, the company can probably sue the DPA in question if they think the fine was unreasonable or unapplicable or no good very bad and unfair.
- frockington 8y agoDoes the DPA also get to choose who is making a strong effort and who isn't. Reporters can probably start pre-typing the corruption scandal articles.
