Ignoring the court order of which they were duly informed and which contains time to comply is a felony. Including a huge fine in this case, which will likely be calculated per German user. Think something closer to 30 M€.

With "ignore the law", I meant not (fully) implementing the requirements that the GDPR imposes. If a judge actually rules that they did not properly implement the GDPR requirements, then yeah, they will correct that.

But until someone sues them and that court case concludes, there's going to be a lot of time, in which they can probably make enough money by not properly implementing the GDPR requirements to easily recover however high that fine is in the end.
