How else would regulation work?

Certain things in a finite world you can't regulate, and you just need to let go. Some things are too expensive to regulate. For things that actually should and deserve to be regulated, you can first start with a written and formal request to change. Then small fines incrementally. Small being like 100,000 eur in this case, not 345 million - just insane. 345 million is f*** you, eat shit, and die.

They wouldn't even notice 100'000 Euros and so the fine would be useless as a tool of discouragement. The laws have been specified so that they scale with the size of a company. Tiktok it's a big company. They make a lot of money. They can afford the 345 million. They will notice that.

So the fine seems appropriate to me.
