    Oh yeah, wait! Law should be shaped after Meta’s way of doing business, so unfair.

    Let them operate just a couple years more and the far right will win elections in half of the eu.

    Are these people blind? Can’t they see who’s pushing the idiot propaganda?

    Meta calls its penalty a ‘tariff’

    That’s a retaliatory tariff. Meta broke the law, and the EU retaliated.

    Ah, no. The real tariffs come when the EU starts to charge them through the nose for using EU customer data. This is on the agenda for when some real retaliation is needed.

    Of course they want to politicize this. And the EU is being far too careful here, these amounts are only 1.5% of the maximum penalty. They got off easy

    The cost of doing business for them. Make the fines actually proportional and ongoing until they stop breaking the laws

      The corpos control your laws, narrative, everything and they are considered to be human. They are demonic entities of destruction and you are slaves to their unending urge to divide and ruin our race. To kill us as profits are easier to achieve when humans are out of the equation

    This is neither new nor surprising. They casually break EU-US personal data transfer agreements like they’re nothing. They know perfectly well they will be fined, but they profit infinitely more from breaking EU law than they have to pay up in fines. It’s a simple business decision. The EU Comission is being very lenient here, like they’ve been for years.

      They are used to not having to respond to rules and laws and make more money than the fines take so it is a business as usual, and the reason is that “they” in this context is not human. It is an entity of raw unapologetic competitor for ending planet earth, an entity that strives only for profit and harvest any human in the way, even those inside it that help it. There exist no compassion or afterthought for if human lives are worth anything, instead if one of the zealot lawyers in its show any sign of not obeying they are replaced so that the giant demonic machine can ensure that every human inside it is currently doing their best to betray their own race. All the blood money from profits is available to use for this goal, but also the minds of humans that can strategically plant comments and enact articles like this, where they play off the political divide and wars and destruction of the planet. Only to distract even, they don’t need anything but time until we die out so they can focus on profits more

    The rich and powerful are going mask off about being above the law. Fuck you lizard boy, and fuck Meta and their “products”
