Maybe they would not have this problem if they would abide the law. Easy.
Only €3.2B in income tax is wild.
Like seriously how much money does those companies make in Europe? Europe is getting ripped off.
Not that it matters much, most of these fines are watered down by the time a final sentence is issued in appeal court.
Trump raised easily taxes about goods, we should have done the same with all their tech companies by at least 15% up. That’s why EU should exist
Elons soyrage over the fine has been very entertaining.
Probably 80% GDPR violations
*uses the same bad corporations daily
oh no, poor big companies :((((((((
The fact that the EU never fined tiktok is proof enough that this entire thing is based on the blessing of the Biden administration. I suspect these fines will become rarer in the Trump era.
I would prefer those companies dont break the law to get fined
David has a point. We should raise taxes on mega tech!
The approach of the EU to corporations, their taxation and regulations is one I do prefer.
Now surveillance is another thing entirely (looking at you chat control), but this approach to corporations is something I like.
We are the 3rd biggest economy in the world. We don’t fine big tech often enough IMO. Make me the product? Pay my taxes, assholes.
Do you still love it when big tech refuses to implement chat conrol backdoors to their messaging services?
That’s chump change for those corporations – at this point they probably factor this cost in as their costs of operation.
Every European startup in tech that’s anything gets either bought up or destroyed by American tech companies. Thus killing any European taxation.
The fines are just cost of doing business for them.

The tariffs make so much more sense now.
Let it rip America!
Fines actually get paid, taxes are just evaded.
EU’s kinda savage when it comes to fines.
It’s important to stand our ground on our own tech regulation.
The US Secretary of State and the US ambassador to the European Union publicly attacked our institutions for enforcing our own laws.
It’s also a sovereignty thing.
Maybe European tech would do better if American tech wasn’t doing illegal stuff in Europe.
Tbh we shouldn’t be using these companies. I’m moving away from US services little by little.
Still, it’s not a good sign fines on foreign companies gets more revenue than tax from domestic companies in the same sector. If Europe wants to be stronger and more independent, it needs a much larger tech sector, ideally one whose tax revenue far surpasses foreign fines.
I think Europe definitely can do it, not exactly sure how though.
