The DPC has turned a blind eye on the revenue generated by Meta from violating the GDPR since 2018. Ignoring the EDPB demand to include the unlawful revenue of Meta, reduced the fine by 3,97 Mrd EUR.

I've been waiting for their final Inquiry Report on Twitter's illegal handling of t.co tracking data for years. Doesn't stop the Commissioner mentioning my complaint each year in their annual report! Time to follow up. #irishdpc #privacy
