They are expected to have $13.2 billion this year.
I think that number is their revenue rather than their profit, which is probably closer to $3 billion. So, this fine would be (very roughly) 10% of their profits for the year.
Fines against companies should be revenue based instead of profit based. Companies have too much wiggle room from revenue to profit.
I think they should be based on guidelines that take into consideration the damage the company did, irrespective of the amount of money they make or have in the bank. That's how it works for the likes of you and me.
Not in Finland.
Does this comment in any material way relate to either my comment or the comment to which I was responding? I'd love to know more about how it works in Finland, but I can't figure out why you left this message.
Why would you punish success? Do you not want successful companies?
I'm honestly flabbergasted at this take, holy shit.
Not in the EU!
