They could be (and probably are), but remember, this case is about a EU company (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited) breaking EU law and subsequently being punished for that, with fines proportional to the revenue of the parent company (a US company).
- noslenwerdna 3y agoAre you arguing that selective enforcement of the law is a good thing? Why just this one company? Google and many other large companies are also apparently in violation.
- tephra 3y agoNo. Were do you think I did that? I'm just saying this is not the case of a U.S company being fined for breaking EU law (which many seem to think) but a EU company breaking EU law. And further that there are probably a lot of GDPR violations going on in the U.S but those are obviously harder to actually enforce (GDPR enforcement is already a big issue _within_ the union).
