10 Jahre nach den Enthüllungen von Edward Snowden, wie die US-Geheimdienste weltweit anlasslos massenhaft unsere Kommunikation überwachen, spricht Max Schrems darüber, was sich in den 10 Jahren nun verändert hat:

Sehr Pi*Daumen (!) sind es bis zu 10 Minuten. Wir haben zB über 50 Mio für eine Westbahn-Begradigung ausgegeben die eine Minute gebracht hat.. Ergo: Budget wäre ca. € 500 Mio für einen direkten Anschluss wenn er ca. 10 Min bringt.. 😉

Raw data (if you wanna play with it e.g. various filter combinations):

ico.org.uk

In recent UK #GDPR conferences everyone from the business and lawyer bubble agreed that for a company breaching the #GDPR it is more likely to be hit by lighting than by a relevant ICO enforcement action... ⚡️ In this way the UK is very much in line with many EU Member States...

Head of the

saying a "lack of enforcement" is "utterly false".. ➡️The ICO 2022/23 statistic on #GDPR complaints at overall 9748 complaints: - 6259 "no action" (64,2%) - 3483 "informal action" (35,7%) - 4 "investigtion persued" (0,04%) - 2 "regulatory action" (0,02%)

Replying to @PrivacyMatters @DavidErdos and 2 others

Also utterly false.

Background: First the head of a federal state (Burgenland) challenged the head of the SPÖ, then they wanted a member's vote, but first about 70, but by adding another rule 3 were on the ballot -- all got about 1/3... Then they wanted a final vote by the about 600 delegates..

Unbelievable... 🙈😂🇦🇹 So the Austrian Social Democrats had a shitshow of a leadership challenge. On the weekend they had the final vote - but mixed up the results and declared the wrong guy as leader. A journalist triggered the recount by asking why there is one vote missing.

Max and his team has done more to advance the case for data protections in Europe than just about anyone. It's awesome that they're using Rails to build their internal systems to power this work. Great opportunity for someone help them with the mission!

@EU_Justice

has proposed a "#GDPR Procedures Regulation", but this can only work if it hits the right elements. We have put together a proposal of such a Regulation at gdpr-procedure.eu - hoping that it may move things forward.

(3) One of the reasons for the lack of enforcement is a lack of an #EnforcementCulture by DPAs, but in many cases national legislators, courts and DPAs also developed "traps" to get #GDPR stuck. You can find an overview in our #GDPRtrapMap: noyb.eu/en/trapmap

(2) We now published a live overview over the 800+ #GDPR cases that we have filed in the last 5 years. 86% of them are still waiting for a decision. The majority of them for more than 18 months, many up to 4 years. You can find the details here: noyb.eu/en/project/dpa

(5) So while we are happy that NGOs like

were able to push many cases that make headlines (any by now about €2 billion in fines) the reality is that we need to move towards a proper #EnforcementCulture, now where the #GDPR reached "primary school age" (enacted 7y ago).

(4) Some of these issues could be solved via the

@EU_Justice

proposal for a "GDPR Procedures Regulation", but to fix the situation, it would need to have the right elements in it. We made a proposal, which you can find here: gdpr-procedure.eu ⬅️

(3) This is largely due to various procedural "traps" that national legislators, authorities or courts have developed. There are so many and such creative "traps" that we made a #GDPRtrapMap to see for yourself: noyb.eu/en/trapmap 👀

(2) Most cases are stuck at the DPAs. We regularly have to sue DPAs (with costs €2k-5k on average) to get "free" #GDPR complaints decided. Currently 86% of our complaints are not decided. We now published all of our cases at noyb.eu/en/project/dpa ‼️ with statistics per DPA.

learning after 5 years of #GDPR: (1) The national authorities and courts largely ignored the European legislator's intent to have serious enforcement: noyb.eu/en/5-years-gdp #5yearsGDPR #DSGVO
