Would someone who is downvoting this be willing to explain why? Because I have the same impression (that many GDPR rules are simply being ignored because enforcement is lacking).
- Nextgrid 7y agoThe typical response I get to such comments is that Google did get fined 50M once in France. The problem is that not only is it pocket money to them but Google continues to violate people's privacy (Google Analytics still tries to stalk me everywhere without asking for consent first). When it comes to Facebook I am not aware of any investigation or enforcement action being taken despite them being even worse than Google when it comes to privacy and having proven their malicious intent and complete disregard for the privacy multiple times.
- hetspookjee 7y agoWell you can get rid of Google analytics, you just have to install their Opt-out Google Analytics browser extension and fill in some data. I really wish the EU actually did something worthwhile with the GDPR.
- Nextgrid 7y agoThe point of the GDPR is that you don’t have to opt-out, you have to opt-in if you are happy with tracking.
- def_true_false 7y agoIt seems there has been more activity since then, see here https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ Sort by amount fined.
