🇪🇺 This year the European Union will again make more money from fining US tech companies Than from the total tax income from Europe's own public tech companies!

    If those companies wouldn’t break our laws, we wouldn’t get so much money through fining them.

      Right but they don’t stop and your countries are shaking hands with these people so what you’re going to end up with is a worse America after your politicians get so rich they can pretend you’re an ant.

      That money isn’t going to the working people of any country.

    Going to call a huge bullshit for this. This was made by a pro-US tech company to allow them to walk all over Europe.

    The key thing: That’s if you can collect.

    Tech companies shown time and time again, they will commit a serious injustice, get a warning a few years later, and then hit a lawsuit a few years after that. After 10 years of spinning in legal courts, they finally get a fine.

    That fine would be negotiated a dozen times. During that decade, the tech company has already bribed/spent millions arguing that they did nothing wrong.

    This is only for major tech companies that survive. There’s nothing stopping a tech company from bankrupting itself to avoid collection.
