    This isn’t just about a fine; the Commission forcing us to change our business model effectively imposes a multibillion-dollar tariff on Meta

    Technically true I guess, (A Fine is a Price, U Gneezy) but only since it’s not enough of a fine. Make it €200 billion instead of €200 million.

      If your business model is violating personal rights, you should have never made it a business model in the first place. Same goes for anti-competetive actions that violate the laws.

      They could have imposed up to €55 billion across the two companies. That doubles for repeat offenders. This was clearly meant as a warning.

      Yes fuck because a demonic data harvesting entity is not okay with humans. In our contry we do not have corpos deciding laws, it’s also very illegal because corporations are not human and considered gods like in your empire. Hope this helps to explain
