Good. Somebody needs to hold these corporations accountable. The world is a lot more than just the US and the usual lobbying system that these companies exploit doesn't exist out here.
Yeah but the EU can literally do nothing to the USA. In fact the USA can just declare the war in Palestine is not genocide for them, and that applies, while the test of the world thinks otherwise.
I wish the EU makes it so that any operating system must be able to have access to a local account. This would mean the EU will target Microsoft, which can only mean one thing…
This works so well because the EU is so big, and no company wants to risk losing a market of over 300 million people. Yes these companies lose a lot of money paying these fines, but they would lose even more money if they try to leave, and the EU knows this
This is how it should be. These aren’t little mom and pop stores where small fines that the US usually implement are plenty to get them moving in a different direction cause it’s a good chunk of their net worth these are mega corporations that can just eat fines cause it doesn’t matter to them. They should be fined differently so that it makes an impact. Percentage of global income is a good start.

The fact that there is any model where having your data collected is not optional is disgusting. Literally paying for them not to sell your private information and openly admitting to doing so unless you cough up. The textbook definition of extortion.
