Does it though? Is there case law supporting this?
From what I can see the big problem with the GDPR is a near-total failure to actually enforce it, so such questions barely even matter.

- zaarn 6y agoThe solution would be a small amendment of the GDPR that local DPCs can take matters in their own hands if 1-2 years pass without the other DPC doing anything about a violation. (This would still be different from the other DPC finding there to be no violation).
