The American mind cannot comprehend this.

I’m happy that a government is holding itself accountable, but I seriously doubt the fine will go through - and even if it does all it does is cost the taxpayer more money due to either incompetence or just malicious intent.

The European mind can’t comprehend that most Americans think EU regulations are oppressive and unnecessary. The EU can’t comply with their own regulations isn’t a good indicator. Neither is the fact that the EU still displays cookie banners on their own website, despite that being everyone’s favorite jab at American companies.

The EU can comply with its own regulations, it’s just that EU citizens (sometimes) can force it into compliance if it does not. That’s a nice feature.
