Big Tech has already made enough money in 2024 to pay all its 2023 fines

Last year, Big Tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft) received about $3.04 billion in fines for breaking laws on both sides of the Atlantic. As of seven days and three hours into 2024 , they had already earned enough revenue to pay it all off. :anguished:

Thx for sharing, it is ridiculous fact…

What stands out to me, even more, is the significant difference in amounts of Meta and Alphabet vs the others.

I believe that in Finland, fines for, say, driving too fast, are a percentage of your income… just saying…

Most Europe relies on non-EU nukes for it’s defense, and I think it would be a dangerous game to be that radical against this economy in my opinion.
