No, that's not what I'm saying. I made my point clumsily though, admittedly.

I'm saying for the relatively few fines that have been issued in the UK, a surprising number have been aimed at targets of the culture war of the day and that that's noteworthy.

Data relating to medical records and sexuality is noted by the GDPR as (quite rightly) being particularly sensitive and worthy of extra protection.

Your use of the troll bait term "culture war" attempts to belie this.

I'm definitely not trying to bait, or troll anyone. I apologise if that's how it's coming across.

I found the proportion of the fines aimed at a particular group of organisations noteworthy; especially specific organisations that are already under intense scrutiny in the UK media.
