The Irish DPC had all the ability to declare this as unacceptable (and start imposing penalties if it's not changed) much, much earlier, without waiting for German DPC to proceed through courts.

- rsynnott 3y agoThis does feel like a general problem with regulation of tech in particular, though. It’s not just GDPR stuff, either. For instance, US and EU regulators seem to be _finally_ lurching into action on crypto, which will presumably be a great comfort to the vast cohort of people who were ripped off for billions over the last few years (the “Web 3 is going great” loss tracker is currently at about 12.5bn, though it’s not a great metric as it doesn’t generally encompass pump and dumps, only very clear ripoffs and exploits). There’s probably no easy answer here; it _does_ take time to do stuff properly.
