Meta got sued and had to pay €1,500 per user in a ruling of a supreme state court which can’t be appealed. There’s a wave of lawsuits expected to follow because this actually means every Facebook user (for now, it might be possible that non-users whose data were also collected will sue, too) can easily sue now. I remember Meta boasting to have the data of some 10M Germans for targeted advertising. Unfortunately that’s hardly robust evidence but I hope they’ll sue them to hell and back.

since GDPR came in TBH i haven’t heard of any EU data leaks… like sure they happen in the US all the time, but where the fines actually happen
same with australia: we’ve had pretty good privacy laws since like the 90s, and really we haven’t had a whooooole lot of breaches. there have been some high profile ones, but security is never a 100% kinda thing yknow
The fines are too good a revenue source. Ireland would be fucked without the steady stream they represent.
All I every hear is how Ireland tries to avoid taking fines or tax from them.
