It’s about time someone fined them a handsome amount for their deviousness.

  This site has a 3 item slider at the very top of the page promoting recent? decisions. 2 of the 3 have the same number of lines of text. The third one has an additional line of text. Every time the 3rd one comes/goes, the entire page is shifted up/down to accommodate causing the page to have a very slow bounce. tsk tsk tsk

  I am not impressed. I clicked on my country and the four most recent fines are: 600(private indiv.), 150 (private indiv.), 100 (Bank), 0 (Post office). I'm not opposed to GDPR. I just think it's ridiculous how they boasted about fines up to 20 million or 4% of annual worldwide revenue, and then we get an interpretation of "up to" that we otherwise only know from ISPs. I mean, a "fine" of 0 Euro, and 100 Euro for a bank? That is not how you make organisations respect user privacy. At this rate we're going to have three different any% categories of this speedrun before we can hope for an announcement of a plan to tighten restrictions in an unspecified amount.

    Sort by fine size ;-) Just because your country doesn't take advantage of the new tool doesn't mean it isn't useful.

      I disagree, every company on the top fines list has more money in proportion to the fine than the examples the parent comment gave, except maybe the bank. These fines are so tiny no one will ever care about user privacy or data security.
