EU is surely for taxes. But the US tech companies try to avoid this as much as possible. + The fines are for breaches/violations/abuse and they are way too low

EU is surely for taxes. But the US tech companies try to avoid this as much as possible.
+ The fines are for breaches/violations/abuse and they are way too low to have any significant social impact.
Eg. for the fine of today, Facebook when they acquired WhatsApp:
> Facebook told the commission that it was not able to link the accounts of Facebook users and WhatsApp users.
....
Personally, I think the fines are way too low. Companies are not above the governement.
