Or, to put it another way: a big group of tech people who have no interest in protecting the data of their customers, preferring to be able to cut corners and do as they please with information that is not theirs.
There is nothing in the GDPR that allows for a person or lawyer to sue a company for GDPR non-compliance. All they can do is complain to the regulatory authority in their EU country, which has the sole power to issue fines. And if you're not taking care of my data, then I have no problem at all with you being fined.
Is deliberately missing the point giving you pleasure?
I stated exactly what I had in mind, the rest is your projection and fantasy.
You say there is nothing in the GDPR that allows a person / lawyer to sue a company. I have no reason to doubt that. Okay. But laws aren't that clear and cut; there are overriding laws, parent laws, derivative laws... the spaghetti black hole is huge and everybody who isn't a hardcore specialist lawyer can't possibly hope to be 100% informed and protected.
That was my original point and still is. How did you transition to the hint that I am (1) farming personal info, (2) not taking care of it, and (3) I deserve a fine.. guess that's one of the Universe's mysteries.
