- paulcole 5y agoOh, wow, didn’t realize 1 website had been fined $100. The legal water is boiling!
- p_l 5y agoGDPR mechanisms are directed at pushing you towards compliance, not getting big payouts. So in many cases you can even avoid any fine if you cooperate on first notice.
- jeroenhd 5y agoThe fine is only $100 if your lawyers and legal team work for free.
- chaosite 5y agoYeah, that's definitely a slap on the wrist. But now that website needs to stop doing that, or it would face actual consequences.
- martin_a 5y agoYou must have missed this part: > The ruling directs the website to stop providing IP addresses to Google and threatens the site operator with a fine of €250,000 for each violation, or up to six months in prison, for continued improper use of Google Fonts. So, if you feel brave you can challenge some courts on this.
- paulcole 5y agoNo, I didn't miss that part. "Next time, I'll really punish you" rarely works until there's actual consequences.
- martin_a 5y agoThere are actual consequences: https://www.dsgvo-portal.de/gdpr-fine-database.php https://www.dsgvo-portal.de/gdpr-fine-database.php (I think I have seen one of those databases somewhat more official before)
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoThis is basically a 'we are watching you' warning, second time the fine will be different
- zuzun 5y agoIt's per claimant. That would be a $15bn Equifax settlement.
