Billion-Dollar Oops: EU’s GDPR Fines Hit €4.5 Billion Mark as Big Tech Pays Up

Hot Take:

Who said data breaches couldn't be profitable? For the EU, it's been a €4.5 billion bonanza thanks to the GDPR! It's like a "pay-per-screw-up" model, where companies fumble with your data and Europe gets to keep the change. Talk about incentivizing privacy; the EU's got companies coughing up cash like they're playing a high-stakes slot machine with your personal info. And the house always wins.
