Such a large fine can probably be tied up in court for a long time.

My point is that Meta is constantly challenged by the EU and is forced to change their data-pig behaviour, so the claim that nothing ever happens is false.

Also, Meta actually had the rewrite their new Threads app for EU, because the US version was so invasive, that they needed to adjust it.

The US still has the invasive version, like the rest of the world. Only EU gets the "better" one.

You said data-pig and now I imagine a pink piggy bathing in 0s in 1s like they are dirt.
