@neil Sounds like they were just calmly not burning their boats and will factor the fine into any evaluation of restoring access in the UK. If they don't see the point of that now I imagine they'll do whatever they can to defer the decision and simply ignoring it for now would likely work best.

@neil my understanding is that all the user-generated content companies [social media, img upload, wordpress, etc] are describing themselves as subprocessors, not data controllers:

since it's a free-form textbox, they don't actually control what you type -- you open an account w/ them to subcontract the distributing of your blog posts/tweets

you the user are the data controller of your blog posts' contents

or at least that's what i remember from Blogger's policy back when
