I have no problem with the result, or the punitive nature of it. I do think that basing fine calculations for violations of EU law on global revenue is a problematic precedent (though if it was based on EU revenue it would absolutely have to have a fair amount of latitude in calculation to avoid all the same tax dodges already in use).
- nojvek 8y agoI think 4.3 is a reasonable number even for EU revenue. American multinational tech companies suck a ridiculous amount of money from the rest of the world. The US would rarely do anything to harm their corporations. The latest govt is literally “A govt for corporations, by corporations”.
- LamaOfRuin 8y agoYeah, I have no problem with the specific number. I just think if it should be that high, it should be a higher percentage and based on EU revenue. That would seem much less legally dubious in a world where I would like global trade to continue to function.
