GDPR Enforcement Tracker: List of GDPR fines

This is crazy. I've seen it done plenty of times by accident in the past, because people don't know how to use BCC (and its hidden by default in many clients).

Yeah, but ten times in a row? And that's just in half a month, it sounds it could've been dozens of times over 3 months?

Nothing I've heard about this case sounds to me like an innocent mistake that a reasonable effort was made to correct.

I've accidentally smacked people on the street before (gesturing, probably). That's technically a crime, but it'd be crazy to prosecute me for a little mistake like that. But it's not crazy that hitting people is a crime and that people do get prosecuted for it in egregious cases.

Not just hidden. When using BCC, the information is never transmitted outside the sending server.

I think what they meant is the option to send as BCC instead of CC is hidden in most mail clients.

Thank you. That does indeed make more sense.
