The EU actually loves levying huge fines against rich US tech companies. Why do you think they prefer compliance to fines?

Well, let's take a famous example. The €4.2bn fine given to Google in 2017 for abuse of its market position in pushing its own shopping results.

Shocking stuff.

Except the Commission actually gave Google quite detailed advice over 5 years earlier about what it needed to do to be compliant.
