The 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

The 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.
