- esarbe 3y agoThey wouldn't even notice 100'000 Euros and so the fine would be useless as a tool of discouragement. The laws have been specified so that they scale with the size of a company. Tiktok it's a big company. They make a lot of money. They can afford the 345 million. They will notice that. So the fine seems appropriate to me.
- esarbe 3y agoI understand the tool of hyperbole, but this is a very flawed hyperbole. We do have to keep people around if they behave in ways that harm society, but society is not morally bound to keep companies existing despite them misbehaving. They are not living conscious entities. They are organizations created for the purpose of accumulating money. And if they cannot do that without violating the laws, then they should be dissolved. That's not an "authoritarian mindset". That's just the mindset "the law applies to everyone".
