In a detailed and well-researched article, WIRED outlines the failings of the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The article points out that member state data protection authorities have failed to act quickly over complaints against technology companies and the online advertising industry. It also highlights the growing dissatisfaction amidst advocacy groups, with comments including this from noyb program director Romain Robert "to say that GDPR is well enforced, I think it's a mistake. It's not enforced as quickly as we thought." WIRED interviewed several DPAs from France, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Luxembourg, Italy, and the UK, along with the EDPS and EDPB, for the article. All of them claim GDPR enforcement is still maturing and that it will continue to improve moving forward. However, the regulators also acknowledge that enforcement changes could speed up the process leading to swifter action.
