Many european countries (including Germany) have no class action lawsuits, so unless you want 340 million separate lawsuits, you’ll have to either use fines, or accept that this will go unpunished.

Just because there are no class action lawsuits doesn't mean you can't take collective legal action. It's been a long time since I lived in Germany, so I can't cite any recent examples, but 20 years ago there were lawsuits in Germany of broad groups.
