In 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation was passed in Europe, and heralded as a new era of progress in internet safety. However, the law has suffered from a critical lack of budget and personnel. In the two years since this law was passed, the only giant tech company which has been penalized is Google. While some supporters say that it is too early to draw conclusions about the law, and that there will be new rulings soon, others claim that the cases take far too long, and that due to the limited budget and personnel, governments are discouraged from fighting more complex cases. This failure to limit big companies could also have a large effect on worldwide privacy laws. In any case the future of this law remains to be seen.
