Money solves a lot of problems, and people at tiny companies seem more likely to actually care.
- rdtwo 5y agoThe fines are the same for both. It’s like Bill gates doesn’t really care if he runs every red light camera on the way home but his maid does.
- noisem4ker 5y agoThe fines aren't the same. They scale with damage entity and company turnover. See art. 83 of GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/
- mrjin 5y agoStill not scaled enough. Those fines might be staggering to a small company, but for those giants, might be less than 0.5% of net profit. So you can see that Apple/Google/FB etc.. were fined for billions but they simply paid the fine and continue to do what they were doing. The reason behind is actually pretty simple: fixing those problems would probably costing them more.
