EU has fined Google €8.2B so far. Google might not have gotten the hint yet, but it's not for lack of trying.

Fines are the cost of doing business, you need to do more than that to see meaningful change.

What do you expect the EU to do, dissolving companies for the slightest infraction without giving them the opportunity to change their behavior?

I expect them to levy the 4% fine and if it’s not paid start arresting senior executives. Instead they issue token fines and allow the companies to just keep appealing them indefinitely. No wonder Google’s not taking these complaints even vaguely seriously, why would they?

Some people here, it seems, would actually prefer that. I personally don’t, but it is a thing some people want.
What happened to those GDPR fines of 4% of global turnover? Looked good on paper but it’s an open secret now that the regulators have no teeth.
