All but maybe one of those looks like it was illegal prior to GDPR, so I'm not sure GDPR is what you're praising.
Which one, out of interest? I can imagine all of them being illegal in some member state.
No HTTPS?
Yeah, I tried adding it manually and it didn't work. Very strange!

You don't seem to have brought up any cases where we know that fines were imposed without a warning, nor any reason to believe this particular case was special. If, out of all the cases that we do know whether warnings were issued, warnings were in fact issued in the vast majority of them (or even 100% of the known cases), then for a case where we don't know and have no reason to believe is special, isn't the reasona…
Once again, under GDPR, it is entirely legal to issue fines without a warning. Therefore, in any case where it does not say that there was a warning, one can reasonably assume that no warning occurred - especially given that in some cases (according to you, most cases) they did say something about a warning. The absence of the mention of a warning in this context implies that there wasn’t one. The point is, and no on…
Why? Many of these summaries aren't official justifications of the fine, they're news clippings. What leads you to believe that if a warning was issued, the news would always mention it? They're not trying to justify the fine, they're trying to inform the public, and they can never include every detail, they always have to leave stuff out. What leads you to believe the news always mentions warnings if issued?
I don’t understand why anyone, even those in favor of GDPR, would attempt to refute the black and white text of the law.
Literally no one in this thread has attempted that, and you incessantly repeating this strawman is why you're being repeatedly downvoted.

There are other examples at least from Germany where no warning or time to rectify was given, just a fine. https://iapp.org/news/a/germanys-first-fine-under-the-gdpr-o...
I lost 50 karma points trying to point out that warnings aren’t required. Tread lightly when disputing HN groupthink...

We've warned you many times not to do flamewars on HN. I don't want to ban you, but if you do this again, we're going to have to. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20279385 and marked it off-topic.

How is this a flame war, and how is it off topic? I'd like an explanation of both accusations please.

You went on and on about some tedious point and kept doing it long after it was clear no productive discussion would take place. Also, you've done this many times before on this particular topic. I don't have a way to stop you from doing that other than banning you, and I don't want to ban you. But if you can't or won't stop doing this, we're going to have to. So would you please stop doing this?
Also, you claim that you marked it as “off topic” even though it clearly wasn’t.

Some countries are sane enough to enshrine privacy in public spaces into law, because of the potential for abuse. This is slowly but surely being eroded also in Germany. Multiple cities are trialling full video surveillance to stop the terrorists. e.g: Some USA towns have near 100% video surveillance through the Amazon doorbell cameras (Ring) of the town's inhabitants. Some content is publicly available, cops can als…
Good. Fuck thieves.
Otherwise any fool can say that we should abolish privacy to punish group because they're bad. And indeed they've been saying that for decades.

If you make a mistake and you do so honestly, not out of malice and fix it, you are very unlikely to get a fine - you will get guidance and a warning. Unless you are being egregiously slip-shod.
That's not true, unfortunately. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=d8d0c69a-620e...
