      Even in the US, the GDPR means companies have to at least pretend to care about data privacy,

      A company I worked for a few years ago quite literally “noped” out of GDPR compliance by spinning off all its overseas business into a new company and walking away from the market entirely. That was a pretty big sign for me that the company was a piece of shit and when I started looking for a new job.

        You and your random hatred of GDPR are hilarious. To quote you, pop an adder all, you need it.

          LOL, thats doesnt make any sense whatsoever. If youre going to be so pathetic to profile sniff, at least use something that even remotely fits. You’re not a very good troll.

          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.
