how are the situations at all comparable, and is anyone even trying to defend Telia here except you?

Google is being fined by EU for their business practices in EU.

Telia is being fined for their business practices in a third country.

Not defending anyone, but can't you see this is a dangerous path? What would happen if Saudi Arabia fined Coca Cola for an "indecent" commercial they televised in Delaware?

That's probably one of the risks of doing business in Saudi Arabia.

Doing business in EU or US is not risk-free either.
