This fills my heart with joy. If only ICO in the UK would do the same.


Well John Edwards just resigned yesterday so maybe you will get a real Commissioner this time - although that said, John was hired specifically as someone who would do nothing, so I guess he did what he was paid to do.

He has largely been ostracised by the privacy and data protection community (even at regulatory events) I have seen him wandering around alone and aimlessly at a number of regulatory events, he didn't seem very comfortable and didn't really have a lot of interaction with his peers.


Someone sent me https://e24.no/norsk-oekonomi/i/OkEMRb/433-millioner-i-miste... and I immediate thought of this post.

ICO bothers to whine and plead sometimes!

But usually even the extensive evidence is indeed met with "eh, mate, can't you just ask them again?"


Yep, pretty much the definition of a toothless regulator.
