> How is it that Meta can regular break the law, with 7 of the 10 highest fines (or probably around a third of all fines) going against them [3] with seemingly no action taken to prevent this from continuing onwards. Because until now we've been treating American companies very leniently, with an occasional slap on the wrist.

Now that the USA turned away from Europe, nobody cares about the interest of American companies.
