Re: Well that took long enough.
jmch,
That was just France. Once one European data protection authority has ruled against you, the chances increase of the others doing so. And they can keep fining you if you don't come into compliance.
Companies can't keep paying multi-millions in fines.
Also they can be fined on a percentage of turnover. Google "only" made about $12.6 billion in profit in 2017, on that turnover of $111. So once the fines go into the millions, and start to add up, they'll really start to notice.
