What GDPR fines are those, specifically?

Mail chimp stores it’s data in the us and German courts found that it breached GDPR because of US spy laws.

Wasn't that just the latest iteration of "EU pretends no other country in the world has similar national security laws to its own member states", under which multiple EU-US agreements on data sharing have already been struck down and technically any EU business probably can't use any US-based service ever if that involves sharing of personal data? Did this one get to the end of the process and result in a real fine or other penalty?

It did end with a judgement that it was in breach but the court didn't fine the company because they barely used Mailchimp and they stopped using it before it got to trial.

EDIT: I misread the grandparent post.

Not FUD there has been a court ruling on using mailchimp being a breach of GDPR.

Sorry, I completely misread your post. You're right. My point was actually closer to what you're saying.

I don’t think GDPR is applicable to private individuals running a newsletter..

GDPR as far as I know applies to anyone collecting data within the EU. But seriously the people who would think this is a great ad for mailchimp because the savings are so low are companies.

My understanding is that it applies globally, regarding data collected on EU citizens. Enforcement is obviously a question here.
