€1.62B in GDPR fines later, are companies learning from their mistakes?

&gt; Let’s start with the easiest one: what is the trend of the GDPR decisions per month&#x2F;year? The response is easy: upwards, particularly since the beginning of 2020<p>I don’t think that’s a convincing argument. That ‘trend’ also could be caused by a lead time of about a year on fines being doled out (issues must be reported, investigations done, the accused must be given time to respond to the initial report, etc)<p>Also: “one fine a day” sounds like a lot, but that’s about one a month per country in the EU.

Was that income intended, kind of a real goal behind GDPR-ing down the Internets?

The mistake is gdpr itself.
