True. But I doubt that even the most ruthlessly efficient GDPR enforcement authority could multiple enforcement requests between mid July and end July.

Why are multiple requests needed? You do shit, you get a request to stop it, you don't do it, you get hit with a fine. How many requests do you expect the authorities to send? 5? 10? 100? If I get summoned to court and don't follow it I get a fine. How is this any different?

Sure, but offences between July and September 2018, and convicted Feb 2019 only against the small sub selection in July.

There's potential time for quite a few ignored warnings before prosecution, but I don't know and can't find out from here if or if not.

They almost certainly got complaints from the users on that list. You tend to get pretty swift response from that.

Very likely that they just ignored it.
