Lots of European companies have gotten fined.

But also, primarily European companies did generally take it a lot more seriously than multinationals. (Sometimes too seriously; while this has calmed down a bit, you'll sometimes see companies enforcing absolutely absurd policies around data on the basis that they incorrectly think they're required for compliance).

In my experience, this is absolutely not true. Sometimes mind-boggling so.

For example, it was US companies that stopped serving ads until they had GDPR infrastructure in place, while some very bad actors in the UK where not collecting consent at all.

Ah, well, the UK. The UK is special.
