Incredible.

On one hand our Data Protection Authority gets that done and on the other hand the European commission is about to start legal action against Belgium for GDPR infringements https://www.brusselstimes.com/news/belgium-all-news/173086/e...

And we just passed a law that permits our IRS to have our bank account's data.

And there is an ongoing project to store and register citizens' health data in one single database, available to insurers and government agencies.

Over the last year there's been drama and real concern around the DPA https://iapp.org/news/a/belgian-dpa-director-resigns/ with director resigning and claiming pressure from the authorities post resignation (as PI rummaging through here trash bins).

We have a guy who single handedly decides if databases projects are OK with GDPR and privacy laws and he's the one providing the software solutions.

Belgian surrealism at its finest.

I know there are people from the north on HN, I wonder what are their view on these matters ?
