Cute observation, but the difference is Google gets consent for many different personal-data-collecting services without sufficient granularity in how it asks for the consent. And a myriad of other intertwined problems described at length in the fine article. The difference in nature was fundamental to their determination, as is well explained.

I dunno, man. I read this stuff as France collecting taxes vindictively, while not really caring how the regulations play out in the larger ecosystem. At some point French regulators we pushing for a rule that any processing of French citizens had to be done in France... Which is a great combination of untenable and an obvious jobs program. Likewise, this comes across as incredibly arbitrary, with enforcement driven by fines rather than actual clear regulations. Non compliance on their own website just hammers it home.

Why not, though? If Trump is promising the leave NATO without the military support from the US, then EU has every reason to create the laws that enforce that commitment. The fact is that as of now, the larger ecosystem is not in a balanced state at all.

Doesn't seem granular at all.
