Not even just compared to individuals, but even to smaller competitors. If a smaller company acted like Booking did here, they'd be sued into oblivion or out of business in no time. Same with a shop that sold counterfeit goods as casually as Amazon or an app store seems to, or one that fired people as suddenly as Twitter/X did those months back. The problem is that laws are basically just 'suggestions' if you're rich/your company is rich, and life altering consequences if you/your company is not. There should actually be jail time for corporate leaders that break the law, and the potential of being forcefully removed from office or the company itself forced to shut down if poor behaviour continues.
