      The fines are too good a revenue source. Ireland would be fucked without the steady stream they represent.

              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
