The @EU_Commission would like to have your input re: how well has the #GDPR done, since 2018.

Despite the wordy explanations in their "Call for evidence" (PDF download on that page): feel free to participate as an #individual. There is lots to say. E.g., express satisfaction that the #GDPR exists; or complain about #corporations de facto evading enforcement, by picking #Ireland's #jurisdiction, and its embarrassingly submissive Data "Protection" Commission #DPC
