  Meta got sued and had to pay €1,500 per user in a ruling of a supreme state court which can’t be appealed. There’s a wave of lawsuits expected to follow because this actually means every Facebook user (for now, it might be possible that non-users whose data were also collected will sue, too) can easily sue now. I remember Meta boasting to have the data of some 10M Germans for targeted advertising. Unfortunately that’s hardly robust evidence but I hope they’ll sue them to hell and back.

    i keep hearing about these companies getting fined, yet here we still are.

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

        All I every hear is how Ireland tries to avoid taking fines or tax from them.
