The hoops the EU goes through to be both a federal and also not a federal entity at the same time is crazy
Just let the EU enforce these laws like the US DOJ or FTC would. If I had to file a complaint with the Alabama FCC or the Mississippi Federal Reserve to get relief under federal regulations I would quite simply not bother
Hard pass. I think it’s fair, less corrupt, and more interesting that the Belgian DPA rules over Belgian privacy complaints.
We might argue they will produce better/worse results than another DPA. Okay. But the whole point of much EU policy is that the member states preside over stuff themselves. That seems better than a (more) centralised bureaucracy.
But the EU is incredibly bureaucratic. I'm not saying the US is perfectly functional, especially recently, but a lot of the processes involved here are incredibly Byzantine to accommodate enforcement not being at the top
