Zur LanganzeigeZusammenfassung
The growing concern of Big Tech influence in the EU and imposed regulation-GDPR has put
a significant administrative burden on Big Tech companies and entrepreneurs within the EU
as GDPR non-compliance fines have varied from one EU MS to another. Although GDPR
attempted to solve previous e-Directives issues, it failed to seek harmonization among EU
Member States, as the enforcement and implementation of the GDPR have been left to each
MS DPA that has implemented GDPR in accordance with their national laws that have further
led to fine unsynchronized systems and disproportionate penalties for non-compliance. The
companies that do not obtain the resources to comply with GDPR receive high fines, leading
to limited innovation, entrepreneurship, and consumer choice in society. GDPR lacks
harmonization among EU Member States and it fails to strive balance between consumer and
company interests.
