I think if that's the case, the fines will have to be increased until we reach a point where they succeed at their task of disincentivizing this behavior.
GDPR already has a provision for this (it accounts for repeated violations and collaboration), and a ceiling of 4% of global revenue is quite high.
"quite" high? Are you serious. These fines are unbelievable.
Good, they might actually work then!
That's the point, and it's the maximum. 4% is there as the nuclear option for repeat offenders.
Unbelievably low. It's really pathetic at how not serious these fines are
And yet apparently not enough of a deterrent, because it keeps happening.
This was a one occurrences, and TikTok stopped it 3 years ago. The laws are getting tighter and tighter (and vaguer and vaguer), that's why "it keeps happening".
