The GDPR specifies that opt-outs are also retroactive, but of course we know that all corporations happily follow the law.

The GDPR specifies that opt-outs are also retroactive, but of course we know that all corporations happily follow the law.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoCorporations seem deathly scared of GDPR, for some reason, while in reality it's enforced about as much as American antitrust (not at all).
- tactlesscamel 5mo agoSame goes for any "regulation" in the states. Gov't does their job only when it brings revenue in the $$$$$$ territory. Everything else is civil and ignored - even if it's promoting the sale of millions of protected information. Of all the reports I've submitted (evidence included) followups and fines have been issued to exactly 0 companies. Hell, Quadlock [phone mount company] happily acknowledged that their policy is to verify identity by requesting plain emails including photocopies of the credit card used for purchase and full state ID. Absolutely against regs.. who cares? Not the SCC nor the FTC.
- somewhatgoated 5mo agoWhile it’s not enforced perfectly, saying it’s not enforced not at all is just untrue. Noyb alone has several hundred successful GDPR lawsuits: https://noyb.eu/en/project/cases https://noyb.eu/en/project/cases
- cassianoleal 5mo agoYou can’t un-sell data though. Sure you may ask nicely that the buyer doesn’t use it and deletes it, but at that point the cat’s out of the bag.
- 1718627440 5mo agoIn praxis, yes especially if it has already left the jurisdiction. Disregarding that, laws don't apply to the first processing party only. If you keep data, that you got informed are not consented to anymore, it is the same as if you keep selling fenced goods.
- cassianoleal 5mo agoI'm not sure the entities buying that kind of data care too much.
