Re:GDPR penalty for passing on of IP address to Google by us... by leobg on Sunday January 30, 2022 @07:46AM (#30136693)
Good point. There is a distinction to be made. For fraud, we have those distinctions. If I send you an email that looks like an invoice for a service you already ordered, but is really, at closer inspection, an order form, I am still responsible if I planfully designed the email so that the average recipient would be fooled. This also means that if I send that email to grandmas I’ll be held more accountable than if I send it to lawyers. These are all important discussions. The ruling we see here just doesn’t enter such discussions, because the court hasn’t even recognized the problem.
