It's not like they haven't been fined before, and continued doing shady shit. I'm sorry, but I have such a low opinion of Meta/Facebook/theZuck that none of this means anything positive to me. I am a much more pessimistic person regarding these kinds of things that I give no credence of benefit of doubt. I also don't trust these legally-binding orders as they are only legally binding until some sharp tongue lawyer figures a way to weasel out from under them.
I'm happy for you that you are much more optimistic about these things, and I hope for all our sake you are not disappointed. From point of view, I can only be pleasantly surprised. To disappoint me at this point would be an ultimate new low.

If the EU maxes out on the fines and companies like Meta still don’t comply, I’m sure that legislation will be adjusted to further increase the pressure. It’ll just take time.
