Hahahahahaha, the Irish Data Protection Commission is and always has been a sick joke.

Now they’ve just become a parody of themselves.

If you’re surprised by this, you haven’t been paying attention:

In the EU, the Irish DPC doesn’t enforce GDPR, @noybeu does.

CC The muppets at @EUCommission – your Single Market for Institutional Corruption is doing great, sweetie.

@aral One might almost think that with some money, one can get anything from the Irish Data Protection Commission.

But that would be lobbying, and they certainly wouldn't do that.

No.

@aral Oh dear.

I don't read books like these for the same reason, and reading the retelling of how these conversations go don't make me happy, either.

I abhor what big tech corps do. But I am even angrier about the politics. It's always people in power, elected by the people, backstabbing the very populace they were meant to represent.

It's always betrayal that follows greed.

Ugh.
