A question of values – The cooperation of European data protection
summary
Argues that GDPR must turn values into enforceable practice by using the EDPB cooperation tools and by fining noncompliant global platforms; notes EDPB procedures underused and no major decisions against US processors despite widespread complaints, blaming lead authorities’ delays. Uses the Corona-Warn-App as a concrete success built with supervisory input and almost 90 million downloads, showing trust works. Cites enforcement power — e.g. a potential $10bn fine for a large tech firm — and calls for coordinated antitrust, research and standards action.
