I can honestly say that I think it made little to no difference, across the board. The requirements etc have not been fulfilled by most companies, why bother.

#32> new information commissioner to focus not just on privacy but on the use of data for ‘economic and social goals’. Congratulations Britons, your data's back on sale.
I wonder if we will now see a situation where British companies will be forced to move their cloud out of GB, to i.e. Ireland if they want to do business with the rest of Europe ? The thing is, even though the GB decides to ditch GDPR, they're still bound by it if they want to do business with the rest of Europe, just like the US is bound by it.
It's already happening. I work with a few affiliate platforms, amd many of them sent an email requesting me to update my invoices. They moved to Germany or some other EU country.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you work in enterprise it absolutely has made a big difference.
I work in an large euroepan enterprise and our GDPR compliance is... absymal. And we're not even investing that much into becoming more compliant. My impression is that the board is in a state of denial, as doing GDPR properly would probably cost us billions.
That my be true - but I work with a lot of companies and they way the legal departments are hunting down problems has changed dramatically.
I have customers that are asking "Do we really need this kind of data".

#34I somewhat miss the days when the corruption was at least somewhat veiled. No-no of course we don't want to sell your data for profit, that would be ridiculous. Clearly it is just our corporate sponsors who will be doing it for us!
Yep, never heard of corruption in Italy before. The Mafia was created just a year ago right after Brexit

#36I honestly get giggles from how unprepared they are culturally for what becoming America-like will do to them. Does anyone else? American-like but with no negotiating leverage and having burned all the bridges to the other economic unions.
Yeah we saw the mighty EU negotiation leverage with COVID vaccine...
UK market is large enough to stand on it's own and EU has been grossly incompetent in public for a while now. There's going to be downsides for sure but becoming "America like" is not going to be one of them.

#37I mean this of course means EU data won’t be able to be stored on British servers as I understand it. More barriers to trade, it’s like this government is trying to destroy the economy...
As far as I understand it, it currently can't be hosted in the UK anyways. As the requirement is to store the data within the EU.

Who said they're becoming America-like. More like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. like.

#39Well say goodbye to EU data adequacy. Although to be honest it probably wouldn’t have survived the first court case given the UK state’s addiction to snooping.

It's unclear whether the 'they' you refer to are the British people, or the class of ruling individuals who know exactly what they're doing and are set to profit immensely.
(I'm aware that all sounds quite America-like already)
