It's interesting how enforcement changes between countries. For instance, all the fines in Austria where for CCTV and dashcam use, all of France's fines were against large corporations, and the single fine Italy imposed was on the "Movimento 5 Stelle" political party.



These aren't all fines. Most of them are published by a select few individuals or newspapers with a clear focus of interest.

What you are seeing is french newspapers being especially interested in fines for big corporations, this is without a doubt a direct result of the current political situation in France.

When determining the amount of the fine, the CNIL took into account the size (9 employees) and the financial situation of the company.


I mean, that is the coalition partner in government right now, so it's a big deal...
