I'm not sure fines really tell the story here. Have big companies had a significant change in behavior as a result? Have major actors in any space (say) deleted data they'd gathered without legal basis?
- mattashii 5y agoAt least they must now put effort into their reasons for collecting data, and share this data with the subject; which was previously impossible or unfeasable. In that regard there have been significant changes.
- dataflow 5y agoSure, I'm not claiming GDPR has been useless. Just that if GDPR is any indication, this data won't get deleted.
- krageon 5y agoAnecdotally, I have seen a significant uptick in cookie banners that are significantly more compliant. Sadly most companies still ask for things they do not need, but at least they aren't on by default anymore and the dark patterns are declining.
- dataflow 5y agoMy reply is essentially the same as to your sibling comment—yes, the situation does improve moving forward, and yes that's great; I'm not arguing it's bad. I'm just saying I have yet to see much evidence of retroactive corrections like deletion of existing data.
- krageon 5y agoNobody that hasn't signed an NDA can report on such deletion and as such you won't see news articles about it :)
