> Does the EU have jurisdiction over Meta? Yes, through their legal entity in Ireland, and through various laws that govern the ways you can do business in the EU. > What happens if Meta.. just doesn't pay the fine? It will eventually result in either the fine being paid by Meta, the fine being nullified by the judge, or the seizure of Meta's properties by force by the government, depending on Meta's actions and court rulings if Meta sues against these fines. --- > But what if Facebook doesn't have that European presence? What if Facebook is entirely based in the US, or moves all those seizable assets and arrestable employees out of Europe before the payment deadline? Does the EU have a way to order all its ISP's to block Meta? Not necessarily, but that does not matter much, because the government could at that point seize any outgoing bank payments to Meta to the amount of the fine, effectively shutting down their income flows from the EU.
