Please tell us the name of that European enterprise that breaches the GDPR and we can put the EU enforcement procedures to a test :) Let's call it an experiment..
- tubularhells 6y agoYCombinator does business in Europe and doesn't adhere to GDPR on HN, for a start.
- Nextgrid 6y agoGoogle and Facebook's tracking consent flows do not comply with the GDPR. All the mobile apps that implement tracking & analytics SDK do not comply unless they request explicit consent. You can start there. The GDPR's spirit is great but the entities tasked with enforcing it are absolutely incompetent.
- XCSme 6y agoThe thing about enforcing the law is that it's still just politics. You can't suddenly start fining everyone without expecting a backlash. A law only works well when most people are respecting it, not when most people are breaking it.
- Nextgrid 6y agoWhy will there be a backlash? Unlike some other laws where the general public typically contains both winners and losers, when it comes to the GDPR I can't see why the general public would be against it - the law doesn't restrict anything per-se, it just requires data processing to be made transparent to the user and allow them to decline.
- XCSme 6y agoBecause most of the people who actually understand GDPR are the people who have to implement it, business owners. Threre a lot of business and website owners, which might make them the majority of general public in this case. Plus, as a politician you rarely want to upset an entire category od voters, especially a wealthy one.
