There were plenty of last straws. The missing piece is a powerful enough entity that has interest in regulating them. No, despite the GDPR the EU is not that.

- DarkmSparks 6y agoThis actually seems to me like a fairly blatant breach of multiple important aspects of GDPR on the part of google.com and youtube.com Are there not serious fines for companies saying they opted you out of this kind of data collection and then not actually abiding by your requests? France Sweden and the UK is already in on that action, Im sure others will follow.
- a_imho 6y agoExactly, compared to what could be the maximum fine, there are no high profile cases. This is the point, GDPR is as useful as much as it is enforced, which is lackluster at best. We are not talking about a one off, for example Google has been continuously violating GDPR for years at this point.
