#GlobalPrivacy: What to Pay Attention to in 2023.
👩‍⚖️ 1) Enforcement, enforcement, enforcement
GDPR is reaching a certain maturity of enforcement which will become evident in 2023.
And this is not only about the number of #GDPR fines, but it is more about the enforcement processes put in place at national level and under the One-Stop-Shop, the body of CJEU case-law building precedents and the complexity of the legal issues analyzed related to processing of personal data.

Think for instance of the Irish DPC/EDPB Decisions in the Meta cases: these decisions in the application of the #GDPR go to the core principles of EU data protection law and may have implications for entire online business models.
Think also about the fact that the CJEU currently has 60 pending cases requiring it to interpret and apply the GDPR (kudos to https://gdprbeetle.eu/which-cjeu-data-protection-cases-are-currently-pending/)
But It is not only the EU DPAs & court system finding their footing with data protection law enforcement.

The South Korean PIPC is proving to be just as active in enforcing the country’s recently updated data protection law.
Announcing itself on the big global stage last September with the largest fines on record for privacy violations under South Korea’s Personal Data Protection Act (the equivalent of 50 million $ against Google and of 22 million $ against Meta, in cases involving behavioral advertising), the PIPC laid its groundwork for more enforcement this year.

South Korea levied tens of millions of dollars in fines on Alphabet's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/GOOGL.O" target="_blank">(GOOGL.O)</a> Google and Meta Platforms <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/META.O" target="_blank">(META.O)</a> for privacy law violations, authorities said on Wednesday.

I am happy that you are here 🙂
Your overview is very clear (and helpful to me).
Who would say if the below assessment of South Korea will evolve?
"There are no legal obligations for data controllers and/or data processors to notify any regulatory authority of their data processing activities." https://www.dataguidance.com/notes/south-korea-data-protection-overview
September 2022 1. Governing Texts Under the Constitution of South Korea ('the Constitution'), the rights to privacy, privacy of communications and freedom of expression are recognised as fundamental rights. In addition, the Constitutional Court of South Korea ('Constitutional Court') and Supreme Court of South Korea ('Supreme Court') have established through subsequent court decisions that the right to informational self-determination should be viewed as a separate fundamental right, despite not being stipulated in the Constitution.
