> Of course, they're not going to intentionally break laws I wish I lived in your world. > but shit happens and despite their best efforts they might still get fined. You’re telling me that it’s okay that laws are sometimes broken with no real consequence because the company in question may mistakenly break laws? Yikes… > Under your proposed regime of a "deterrent", that would put them at risk of fines worth 5% (or whatever) of their global revenue I don’t know if revenue is the exact metric to use to making a deterring fine. It very well may not be. But the fine should act as some real deterrent > All 40k Liechtensteiners are worse off as a result. This isn't a hypothetical. It's happening in EU right now, as Apple doesn't want to deal with the legal headaches associated with Apple Intelligence and therefore opts out of the EU market entirely. This is a very complex topic and I don’t feel well equipped to discuss it with any real nuance. But here I go anyway… I’m not convinced that not having access to Apple intelligence makes a country worse off. Not all countries need to be supported by a large corporation. That’s not strictly a good thing. If they (the EU) wanted that, they’d lax their regulations…
