I wonder if the huge, scaled violations (when web sites violate the privacy of millions of visitors through "consent" dialogs that require dozens of clicks or by claiming legitimate interest where it has already been decided that's not OK) will receive penalties scaled accordingly to their scale of the violation, and it's just taking time, or if the DPAs are just continuing their pattern of bringing the hammer down on randomly picked small-scale violations while ignoring the stuff that actually affects all of us.
- jacquesm 6y agoDPA's don't go on fishing expeditions, if you want them to do something you have to inform them.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoOh, I have. They usually respond three months later (i.e. two months later than they're supposed to) with some noncommittal message. It's not a problem of a lack of reporting.
- jacquesm 6y agoThat is interesting. Ok, then you should follow up with them and ask for how your case is progressing and do a write-up if you do not receive a satisfactory answer.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoI honestly don't have the time and energy to chase a non-functioning entity that I have no effective way of forcing to do their job. I do donate generously to noyb.eu, which is using those donations to hire full-time people to do exactly that, plus trigger lawsuits where necessary. I did talk to people working DPAs though, and they seem obsessed with the irrelevant small stuff (particularly keeping people from easily communicating via e-mail is their pet peeve, ignoring the improvements in transport security that happened in the past two decades since they developed their policies), instead of dealing with what affects everyone.
