I'm not implying or stating no fines are issued, so linking that some fines are issued is not a rebuttal. Also note that site does not track payments made.

The big headline fines serve as a nice bit of PR for the EU

> It seems you did fall prey to the anti-GDPR marketing.

Nice retort but I have not. Being critical of EU regulations and not an EU sycophant is not falling prey to "anti-GDPR" marketing.

I'm actually generally pro EU; I'm just tired of people (especially non-Europeans) implying we have absolute privacy, zero privacy issues, total wins against corporations etc.

This is not "being critical":

>> Yes, as I said, by putting it in the employment contract when applying for a job.

It's a plain wrong interpretation of GDPR, as my links explain.

Where did I (or somebody else) imply that?
