Seems like these sort of fines in the billions at tech companies is much more better than a outright ban as I said before.

Given that Meta has gotten another fine in the billions it is time for another privacy violating social network that has done similar [0] [1] and even worse privacy violations [2] [3] than Meta, and that is TikTok, which should also be fined in the billions just like Meta.

I am all for it, but china would consider this an attack on them an retaliate somehow (taxing european cars more for example). Just like the US government would intervene, if the fines would be actual existential for FB. Behind the scenes it is all politics.
