        that's a crazy small amount. This means Facebook can just lie to the EU whenever and pay a small fine.

        u think 110mln€ matters to a 19bln$ takeover? significant fine would be 10bln€ or 1 month service stop . 110mln€ it’s cheap for our data

        Facebook obviously planned to break most crucial rule, lied and got the data they wanted. The fine is calculated and nothing to them.

        The issue is that #EU has no web giant due to no #strategy & bankcentric ecosystem.I would be proud to BUILD, not to issue fines #Facebook

        Isn’t that just a slap on the wrist, though? What does the (tiny) fine matter, if now they can continue as they were?

        Replying to @vhgalvao @vestager and

        They basically just paid for the privilege of lying. They need to keep being fined until they fix what they did. A one-off doesn’t cut it.

        That has to be a joke. VW has to pay billions for their lies and the EU Commisiion lets facebook get away with only 100 mio €? What a shame.
