Court? the problem is that these fines don't go through any court.

The fines are applied by the Commission, but the companies can appeal to the EU's general court and then to the CJEU.

The FCC isn't the right equivalent here, the FTC or the DoJ are, and they have to successfully sue in federal court for their fines to stick.
