that has no teeth when they can just pay the tiny fine.

its like saying “you better pay me a dollar today or I’ll charge you $20 tomorrow!”

google is like “lol here’s a dollar, we complied. also we earned $1000 working up this massive $1 fine. of course were paying on time, why would I want to put a late fee on my rounding error of a fine?”

oh lovely, a fine amounting to 0.8% of their cash-on-hand. that’ll show 'em.

edit to crowd source checking my shitty math:

Google Cash-on-hand ≈ €111 billion Fine ≈ €900 million

(900,000,000 / 111,000,000,000) * 100 = 0.8

if I’m an idiot please be nice about it lmao

“we?”

we are not billionaires. wtf are they doing?
