It’s nice that the article starts with this blatent lie, so that you know everything that follows is just regurgitating Google’s marketing.

Unit tests or integration tests?

If you turn the fan up high enough it will blow the heat from outside into the house. Trust me, I’m a scientists.

GDPR enforcement is left to the member states. The EDPB isn’t an agency, its more like all the national data protection authorities in a trench coat.
