The hoops the EU goes through to be both a federal and also not a federal entity at the same time is crazy

Just let the EU enforce these laws like the US DOJ or FTC would. If I had to file a complaint with the Alabama FCC or the Mississippi Federal Reserve to get relief under federal regulations I would quite simply not bother

Hard pass. I think it’s fair, less corrupt, and more interesting that the Belgian DPA rules over Belgian privacy complaints.

We might argue they will produce better/worse results than another DPA. Okay. But the whole point of much EU policy is that the member states preside over stuff themselves. That seems better than a (more) centralised bureaucracy.

But the EU is incredibly bureaucratic. I'm not saying the US is perfectly functional, especially recently, but a lot of the processes involved here are incredibly Byzantine to accommodate enforcement not being at the top

Not in this case I think. This affects customers Europe wide and it should be solved at EU level.

It probably will be once all the appeals have finished.

You can't just bypass national courts and go straight to the EU.
