> EU is doing fine

If it is, why isn't it cracking down more seriously on, say, GDPR violations already? Is giving companies multiple years to adjust still not enough? Or does a serious enforcement of its laws not fall under the umbrella of doing fine (nor sure if pun intended)?



https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ Order by fine, descending.



One does not follow the other. EU can be doing badly while GDPR is fine, GDPR can be crap while EU is doing fine, etc

GDPR violations are handled per country btw. Further, GDPR is a regulation which EU member countries turned into law.


Comparatively? Which countries are doing more to protect citizens from data-hungry corporations?
