Ready for another joke? 🥁
The Irish Data Protection Commission, which is responsible for most major technology companies ( #Meta, #Google, #Apple, #OpenAI, #Microsoft,...) actually imposes fines in just 0.26% of the cases it handles. And even when a fine is imposed, the money is almost never collected. 🤡
Happy april fool's day! 🥳🥴 Unfortunately, the reality of GDPR enforcement is so dire that we don't even need to make up a joke.
🧑💻 A recent noyb analysis showed that only 1.3% of cases before EU DPAs result in a fine - while privacy professionals say that they are the most effective enforcement measure.
