Inadequate Regulation and Enforcement

While regulations like the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California represent significant strides in data protection, many regions still lack robust privacy laws. Even where laws exist, enforcement can be inconsistent, and penalties often fail to serve as a deterrent against privacy violations.

Furthermore, the international nature of data flows complicates regulatory enforcement. Data stored by a company in one country on the servers of another country may be subject to conflicting privacy laws, leading to ambiguities and loopholes that can be exploited to undermine data privacy.
