- tcd 7y agoFines are the cost of doing business, you need to do more than that to see meaningful change.
- anoncake 7y agoWhat do you expect the EU to do, dissolving companies for the slightest infraction without giving them the opportunity to change their behavior?
- colejohnson66 7y agoSome people here, it seems, would actually prefer that. I personally don’t, but it is a thing some people want.
- goatinaboat 7y agoI expect them to levy the 4% fine and if it’s not paid start arresting senior executives. Instead they issue token fines and allow the companies to just keep appealing them indefinitely. No wonder Google’s not taking these complaints even vaguely seriously, why would they?
