The Wall Street Journal reports on the growing number of appeals to financial penalties administered by data protection authorities under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Belgian DPA President Hielke Hijmans said the number of appeals to decisions made by the agency has risen over the past six months. The Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information said it could have its enforcement powers restricted should a court's decision to overturn a $17.3 million fine against German property company Deutsche Wohnen stand.
