The OC comment was:
>I expect there would have been a warning given in that case before assessing a fine.
To which your initial retort was:
>What makes you expect this? Unless you and I have read entirely different versions of GDPR, no provision of GDPR requires any warning of any kind prior to issuing fines.
When you started receiving the downvote storm is when you challeneged for proof that the GDPR requires warnings.
I gave a response that supports the OC's position, that a warning could and would be expected; not because of requirement but because it is up to the discretion of the supervisory authority.
After all, the initial challenge that was given to the OC was, "What makes you expect this?" was it not?
Now, it's your turn to disprove that a warning would be expected. I'll wait...
