Abstract

The advent of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduced structures, systems and processes for data protection. Despite this innovation, American big techs have been confronted with challenges of compliance, which have resulted in heavy sanctions. Consequently, this paper, considering nine big techs, examines the nature of the common allegations of data breach, analyses the problems with compliance as well as some shortcomings of the Regulation, and makes recommendations that are beneficial to techs, regulators and data subjects.
