I don't understand. You can contest your fine if it is really too big, but honestly, at my last job we had one client project that got "caught". The CNIL (GDPR watchdog for France) was really helpfull, gave them 6 month to get into shape and proposed them a plan on what to do with the data to meet their goals. The kind of plan that cost a company 5-10k euros to elaborate (2 man/day of a good architect), and 10k (10 man/day of a junior db dev) to implement. So between a third and half the price to make the business legal again was basically paid by the CNIL. I think that's fair tbh.

- danhor 5y agoThe point of the comment is that the CNIL handled the part that the "good architect" would have needed to do, thus saving the company 5-10k. The company "only" needed to implement it, the other part was handled for them. The GP didn't mention fines, so I guess none were given out?
- Aerroon 5y agoYou're effectively saying that we don't really need limits on state power until the state has used that power. That's a pretty bold stance considering all the abuses of power modern states engage in. Why don't we just have an absolute monarch? It would make things much easier!
