You've repeatedly claimed this fine is unbelievable, but that seems like a skill issue on your part. I have no trouble believing the reality of this fine. And tech corps should have no trouble believing it either. They better wisen up and respect the EU's laws if they think these fines are too large to bear (in reality, the worst violators can bear these fines just fine, and the EU should be issuing arrest warrants for the executives to make a real impact.)
- Filligree 3y agoThe fines are escalatory. If Tiktok doesn’t wise up, the next one will _absolutely_ be bigger. The reason you don’t hear about a lot of fines this size, is because most companies aren’t egregiously out of compliance and also correct things when first poked. TikTok did neither.
- ryandrake 3y agoI suspect it's "unbelievable" because we are so used to fines being tiny "slaps on the wrist" that companies just treat as minor costs of doing business. Finally a real fine! When a company that makes $10B a year gets a fine of $100K, it's proportional to me getting a fine of $1. How is that effective?
