? That’s why we have the ICO here in the UK
Comment on Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request

Probably. Either way good luck heading up against their army of lawyers.

They don’t have to.
If they violated gdpr they’re going to go up against the UK’s lawyers. That’s a wonderful thing about consumer protection, the consumer doesn’t have to do anything other than make a complaint.

Nice. Hopefully they don’t get paid off to look the other way. I am not hopeful.

Pretty sure the only thing that happens when violating GDPR is a fine, which is ultimately the same thing as “paying off” the government, but just in a legally obligated way.

Well that’s because the ICO doesn’t have the teeth of my grandmother.
