Seeing how Do Not Call registry has failed, I have little faith in a GDPR like legislation being properly enforced. The likes of Google and FB can easily lobby/bribe their way out of it, or simply just pay the fines and business as usual. Unfortunately having a company like Apple with the aligned financial incentives is best defense we have.
- BonesJustice 8y agoEven Google can’t count on being able to ‘bribe’ their way out of GDPR compliance, as complaints can be brought individually. And the fines have to be large, as a percentage of revenue, or they are useless. GDPR is pretty strong on this, but I would have liked the ceilings on fines to be even higher. I have zero hope that we’ll get anything remotely comparable in the USA, though.
