Given that the maximum penalty it can levy is £20m, it is completely toothless against any major corporation. BA got off with a slapped wrist after their fiasco. The GDPR looks good on paper but where exactly are these 4% of global turnover fines it was supposed to make happen?
- Silhouette 6y agoI think you have misunderstood how the maximum penalties work under the GDPR. In any case, it makes sense that those maximums would be used only in the most serious cases of wilful violations. I wonder whether internally at the ICO they might be waiting for a chance to make an example of one of the tech giants whose whole business model, unlike the organisations penalised so far, is based on exploiting personal data in questionable ways.
