There's been no GDPR enforcement so far and it seems to have basically failed. All it's done has kill off a bunch of smaller websites, games, etc that aren't making enough money to justify the risk of being found noncompliant, whilst the big companies whose business models rely on tracking people have carried on regardless.
- alkonaut 8y agoI think it's too soon to say it failed. A few high profile cases need to be fought before that is settled. This is a typical example of an extremely high profile company that is very blatanly in violation. So it should be the perfect fit for a legal battle.
- foepys 8y ago> There's been no GDPR enforcement so far and it seems to have basically failed. Bold statement considering that it's been only 4.5 months since it came into effect. All government investigations take longer than quick business decisions.
- orf 8y agoNot really, I've sent a large number of GDPR erasure requests and they have all been acted on promptly. That's cool. The point of the legislation is not to slam the book down and start fining everyone left right and center practically the moment it came into effect. It's a complex regulation and the regulators are sensible, so don't expect any action to be taken for at least a couple of years. If you're working towards compliance that's OK for now.
