So it turns out they were right - GDPR went into effect a month ago, Facebook didn't comply (and many other companies either, not offering privacy by default), and nobody paid any fee.

Wait, what? Why would you expect fines being levied within a month of the directive going into effect? The process from a first complaint to a payable fine probably takes a year or more.

the sites had a very long time to get into a state of compliance BEFORE it became law. they could have asked for help from legislators.

FB is being malicious, same as always. hopefully they'll get smashed by the fine when they continue to resist the law.

Well, we're talking about "instant fees".
