Should you CC your GDPR Art.77 complaint to a data controller when the DPA is a deadbeat agency, as a legal strategy? (beehaw.org)

As I mentioned in another post, many data protection authorities are deadbeats. Knowing that my Art.77 complaints are in vain, my question is how the complaints might be made useful. Suppose we just use the DPA as a prop. We file an Art.77 complaint and CC the data controller a copy of the complaint.

Normally it might be a bad strategy to show the data controller your hand. But when you essentially expect the DPA to be a dead-end anyway, perhaps our best move among shitty options is to use art.77 to get the data controller’s attention on the off chance that the data controller does not know the DPA is a deadbeat.
