And then do what? Fine them? That company alone can afford it for decades and never change a thing. EU punishments for US corporations violating EU laws are a fucking pathetic wrist slap.
The GDPR laid out ways of fining that can impact large companies. It uses a percentage of revenue. Similar to how Norway uses % of a person’s income for traffic violations. It is possible to use methods like these to level the playing field. That is, if there’s an appetite for fairness.
Norway does not do that. It’s Finland.

Either way
What the fuck is the Canadian government doing? They might start World War 3 when capturing Maduro!
See how naming the wrong country is not “Either way”. I was trying to help, you’re just being a dick. Please do better.
You’re being pedantic. The point was the progressive tax based on income, not which country does it. Funny enough, I found some online examples of Norway using that for the worst traffic offences, and though I remembered that from when I visited. But if you live there I assume you are more correct than the few online sources. The “either way” was meant to say that the example country does not matter when providing an example of a good idea.
I’m not sure Twitter makes a lot of money, but since xAI owns Twitter and grok is xAI can GDPR hit that instead?
Twitter might say we just purchase grok and it’s not part of our legal identity.
Is this why people like Elon Musk are crying about how the EU supposedly isn’t giving them enough “freedom” online?
The EU should confiscate every US-owned company’s data servers and digital infrastructure located on EU soil, just like the US did to tiktok.
And I say this as a USian…
As a EU-an, It’s a good plan, but I don’t want my city bombed and our President kidnapped.
Doing that in Europe would be a bit different than doing it in South-America. No offense to any South-Americans, but they’ve a long history of being generally fucked over by 'Muurica.
Don’t worry, you’re protected by France’s nuclear umbrella
