Pretty sure whack a mole works at the corporate level as well. If anyone is in position to form a specific subsidiary for each employee, service, and computer it's google. I'm sure everyone would hate such a bureaucratic nightmare, but if governments want Kafkaesque structure, well, they'll eventually get it.
Even with super helpful full disclosure, it could take years just to find the legal entity they're interested in fining.
But nobody wants that. it's stupid.
I kinda sorta see the point about people in .fr can see stuff via .com that the government doesn't want them to see, but it sure seems like trying to legislate no rain on saturday.
- threeseed 11y agoBe serious. Google isn't going to pervert a host countries laws especially not France which is one of the gatekeepers of the EU. Plus France would know lots of subsidiaries were being created and just implement additional safeguards. Google is carefully taking a stand here.
