Personally i also think getting fined constantly is not a reliable business model. :)
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoIt's a risk / reward thing, if getting fined for less than what they earned (both in actual money and in removing competition from the equation) then it's worth the risk.
- hopler 8y agoThese top EU fines so far are extremely large, larger than anything a US regulator or jury orders, perhaps larger than the largest ever US fine.
- kolinko 8y agoJust because they are larger than US doesn’t mean they are extremely large - I would argue it’s US fines that are too small, and regulators being too mild. As for larger ever US fine - perhaps for Google. US can also be rough.
- consp 8y agoYou forgot to state the follow up: these fines require changes, and lacking changes get higher very quickly. Losing 1/3 of you advertisement-market is not profitable either if it gets to that.
