Companies only comply with laws that are _enforced_ and/or where compliance doesn't cost them anything.
Laws whose enforcement is lacking or compliance would be against their business model are routinely ignored. See the GDPR as an example.
- blitzar 2y ago> where compliance doesn't cost them anything Compliance officers make lots of money, lawyers make lots of money.
- close04 2y agoBreaking the law can also make you a lot of money. OP probably refers to "the cost of doing business", with the implication that sometimes breaking the law and paying all the associated costs (compliance officers, lawyers, lawsuits, and fines) still amounts to less than the profit made from breaking that law.
- dotancohen 2y agoWhich business, specifically, do you feel is not complying with the GDPR?
- close04 2y agoI find it very hard to assume good faith behind the question. GDPR certainly made things better but it's by no means a cure all because enforcement is slow and relatively weak. You can take https://noyb.eu https://noyb.eu as a very good resource for this. Some excerpts: > Microsoft's Xandr grants GDPR rights at a rate of 0% > Norwegian court confirms € 5.7 million fine for Grindr > Meta ignores the users’ right to easily withdraw consent > Streaming service DAZN took almost five years to answer a simple access request > First major fine (€ 1 million) for using Google Analytics > Spotify fined € 5 Million for GDPR violation > € 1.2 billion fine against Meta over EU-US data transfers
