you keep coming back to this, and i keep wondering what you mean by 'case' here. facebook has non-us users and quite explicitly operates in other countries

e.g. ford can't sell cars in europe without following eu safety and emission regulation. on the immaterial side the eu respects us copyrights, so you do have to pay for software even if the maker is american

the disconnect here is that these rules only apply to a handful of American companies in the eu and elsewhere. they don't apply to domestic companies especially in the EU where regulation of their own large companies is extremely lax.

if these were relatively sane rules applied evenly it would be fine, but they're protectionist trash. this is also a different issue from the general internet censorship laws desired by certain members of the US legislature.

gdpr, for example, absolutely does apply to european companies and has caused tremendous meltdowns all over the place in the run-up to it entering into effect. not surprisingly, the first gdpr fines have not been levied against american but european companies. as far as i know, it's hit a portuguese and a german company so far

the national regulatory agencies have been pretty lax on large companies in the past. that was certainly the case in germany. but european anti-trust cases have recently doled out some really painful fines to european companies, so this is changing, too.

agreed, everyone laughed about that one. though they also have jack poo poo in terms of revenue and are effectively dead anyway. i bet google and facebook will point to these fines though and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.
question is: will they allow complete access to their systems for regulatory agencies as knuddels did and also immediately notify every affected user. because that's what knuddels did and was named as the reason for the low fine

I bet if it means no real fine theyd do it, but more likely the EU regulators will want to make a show of it regardless of cooperation.

are they the same as 5 guys where they run a potato thru a dicer and dump it into the fryer? cause yeah those are bad. the only thing worse than fresh cut fries are baked "fries"

it is definitely protectionism and the EU is definitely not going to give facebook, goog, et.al. the same slap on the wrist regardless of cooperation.

the 20000 euros is because it got reported and they had no recourse but to issue some kind of fine. if they could have ignored it they would have

WREG uncovers restaurants operating illegally on delivery apps
https://wreg.com/2018/11/12/wreg-uncovers-restaurants-operating-illegally-on-delivery-apps/

quote:

We also couldn�t find a required permit from the health department for the company or any of the restaurants. According to the health department, any facility selling or preparing food is required to have one.

�It�s very important because that way the public knows they�re receiving a product that should feel safe,� said Casia Smith Alexander, manager of environmental health. �At least we feel by permitting the facility, that they are in a place that�s providing something that�s safe, that�s regulatory.�

So how has Expodine been able to sell hundreds of orders of foods?

According to Uber Eats, they have a qualification process in place to verify a restaurant before partnering with them. They wouldn�t expand on what that process is.

Other restaurants told us they don�t remember having to provide any proof of permits or licensing, but there are meal and safety standards you agree to when signing up.

Regulation shmegulation!

quote:

He says his Uber Eats driver was also there waiting. They talked outside about the odd experience.

�She said she was standing there and in her confusion was watching this lady eat the food she was preparing into these containers and licking her fingers, no washing of hands, and really kind of grossed her out.�

Grossed out and disappointed, he left his own complaint.

honestly: depends on the country. france won't be fun for them, germany will probably be a slap on the wrist. maybe except in bavaria. data protection agencies here are federally organized and from my professional experience, the only one that isn't completely understaffed and toothless is bavaria.

i also don't see them as the first likely target for high fines. personally, i'd bet on insurance or credit agencies. they have money, poo poo systems and processes, a fuckton of data and are universally despised.

Regulators are not idiots and know that gdpr takes time to implement.

They're probably going to ease into enforcing it, and not suddenly issue huge fines, especially to companies that demonstrate that they are on a path towards compliance.
