Re: What a shitshow
Completely embarrassed to be an American.
Hold the embarrassment for a while to see where things land. The statement that GDPR has been effective because of fines is not yet evidenced. I've personally been notified of two corporate breaches affecting my personal data since it became law, and even the large company I work for has had a SNAFU and belched personal data to the wrong customers.
That may not be a scientific study, but even looking at news coverage, I don't yet notice any obvious reduction in the number of UK data breaches since GDPR came in. I'd agree most companies are trying MUCH harder - but unfortunately effort != competence.
