Yeah like you say this isn’t a new phenomenon. In some cases they even try to shield themselves with legislation.
For example let’s look at Ireland.
[0] Ireland tries to exclude itself from GDPR https://www.thejournal.ie/data-protection-bill-2018-3853647-Feb2018/ https://www.thejournal.ie/data-protection-bill-2018-3853647-...
[1] Entire health system compromised and possibly majority of PHI data exfiltrated https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/publications/conti-cyber-attack-on-the-hse-full-report.pdf https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/publications/conti-cyber-att...
[2] Irish health service only begins notifications to confirmed affected individuals a year later https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/news/media/pressrel/hse-begins-national-data-breach-notification-programme.html https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/news/media/pressrel/hse-begi...
[3] selective punishment of companies whose data is breached eg google https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/14/dpc-sued-google-rtb-complaint https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/14/dpc-sued-google-rtb-compla... vs meta https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/data-protection-commission-announces-conclusion-two-inquiries-meta-ireland https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/data-protection-...
Laws unevenly applied make a mockery of justice.
- nickff 4y agoRe: [0] My understanding is that member states (and perhaps all sovereigns) are not required to comply with GDPR unless they explicitly choose to.
- slickrick216 4y agoYes somewhat correct. That is for operations of critical public services such as civil registries. This was several steps beyond that. There was other reporting on this as well.
