EU has decided to make a living out of fining the tech companies regularly.
- fabatka 4y agoSeems like it's still worth it for the tech companies, so I'd say it's a smart move.

- rr888 4y agoThey continuously fined the banks until they're all nearly bankrupt. I guess tech is next now.
- chmod775 4y agoI'm pretty sure bailouts/other support the banking sector received dwarf any fines they got for breaking the law. Banks going bankrupt is their own fault entirely. It's a "you had one job" kind of thing. If you want to find someone who is bad at managing your money and somehow breaks the law at the same time, a bank is apparently your best bet.
- lizardactivist 4y agoNo, they're not fined regularly, only when they knowingly violate the law. And it's $4B after 4 years since the beginning of the investigation, a tiny increase to an already massive EU budget.
