I am sympathetic to companies caught on a technicality, not to most of the non-compliance cases > How much money do you think the big tech firms spent on GDPR

I am sympathetic to companies caught on a technicality, not to most of the non-compliance cases > How much money do you think the big tech firms spent on GDPR compliance? A lot. They spent more in pretending they were compliant with it though Here's a better idea, don't actually capture data you don't need and it will be very cheap Meanwhile I have little sympathy for those who abuse user data collection

You'll understand how the game is played one day, I just fear it'll be too late for the EU by then. Here's the trick: "need" is utterly subjective, along with "consent". No matter what definition you think is reasonable and obvious, the EU officials have a billion Euro payoff waiting for them if they just interpret these words differently. There is no amount of money or business changes these firms can ever make that will stop them being fined because using them as piggy banks to evade the treaties is the goal. The EU doesn't give a crap about your privacy and never has, see how keen it is on vaccine passports for just one example of how quickly their rhetoric vanishes the moment it gets in the way of more power.
