        So you haven't researched the actual fines and warnings the EU gave out to EU and non-EU companies. but you just feel like the vibes are totally off? I was really expecting better comments from hackernews. If we're talking about vibes you should acknowledge that it makes sense for the EU to protect their people and their personal information from really large foreign companies. Even more so from companies that are aligned with the state that has one of the largest military powers in the world.

          > I was really expecting better comments from hackernews. You really shouldn't on topics related to the EU. There is an incredible amount of misinformation peddled, and asking for sources or actual analysis beyond simple statements that keep being repeated is usually met with either silence or insults.

        >Good research No. All I did was opening enforcement tracker, click on France, and look for familiar names. It was faster than writing my previous comment. I knew about one of the Carrefour cases, and the Criteo case though. >The authoritarianism and the insanity of the laws in the first place is/are a far bigger problem What is authoritarian or insane in GDPR? Or its previous iteration, the DPD (from 1995)? Oh no, we expect companies to handle personal data with care, the horror.

    The Netherlands DPA has fined CP&A, an unnamed orthodontic clinic, Transavia, a local political party, the municipality of Enschede, Booking.com B.V. (yes, Booking.com is Dutch), OLVG (a hospital), a redacted data trader, the Dutch national tennis association, an insurance company, another hospital, a semi-governmental organisation and 7 governmental bodies. Some of these do business in foreign countries, but all of them are unmistakably Dutch. I've left out the largest news organisation in the Netherlands, the Belgian company BPG Media, but they have bought up a bunch of local news organisations. Non-EU-originating companies on the list: - Tiktok - locatefamily.com Tiktok got fined by the Dutch DPA for not providing their privacy statement in Dutch while still doing business in the Netherlands. Further research into Tiktok was transferred to the Irish DPA (this fine). I suppose the Dutch DPA could've lodged a complaint with the Irish DPA for not providing the necessary documents in Dutch, but that seems rather silly to me. locatefamily.com did not have EU representation at all so there was no need to process the complaint anywhere else. I doubt the fine will ever be collected, but who knows, maybe the owners are stupid enough to open a business in Europe somewhere down the line.
