    I have all the same rights under my states privacy laws, so nice try dipshit. The difference is I dont think they’re some magical scripture that will protect me from anything, or that huge companies will be affraid of, because Thats not how real life works.

      Good for you.
      But, you know, unlike what you seems to think, GDPR gives people a fair amount of protection and it is enforced.

      And these “huge companies” are still subject to laws, at least in EU.

      Thats not how real life works.

      The real life begs to differ:

        GDPR gives people a fair amount of protection and it is enforced.

        Not in my experience. I have filed complaints of ~20+ GDPR violations under article 77 going years back. Not a single one of them enforced to date. These cases just sit idle for years. The problem is the GDPR gives no recourse when DPAs fail to honor article 77 obligations. It’s toothless.

        That shows a low count of cherry-picked enforcement actions. If you had a way to get a count of unenforced reports it would likely be an embarrassing comparison.

        LOL, Reality is always missed by your types. Quote where I said it wasn’t enforced! Quote where I said companies aren’t subject to laws… Ya, didn’t think so.

        Your stupidity begins and ends with not grasping how big business works, paying those fines are a cost of business for them. Companies have been violating laws knowing they’ll get in trouble LONG before GDPR was ever a thing, that’s not going to change. Neither will their income, the outgoing costs will just rise to cover it, and they feel nothing. Laws are a way to deal with something after it already happens, they don’t stop those said things from happening if that’s what companies are intent on doing.
