Enforcement of GDPR – A reality check.
summary
Rapid assessment of Amazon, Netflix and Spotify uses mystery shoppers and access requests to show pervasive tracking, Android app advertising trackers, and readability scores from a Flesch‑Kincaid readability test that put policies in the “difficult” range. Findings include an EU user’s 445 pages of viewing data, 84 pre‑ticked boxes in Amazon settings, 17–21 minutes to read notices, presence of dark patterns, and inconsistent access rights between US and EU accounts; regulators note a €50m Google fine but slow cross‑border enforcement.
