Evotech@lemmy.world 4 months agoBut what might be illegal in Norway isn’t necessarily illegal or finable in other countries
I’m not sure how they Norwegian courts landed on this number though.

No it may not be, but it’s one company and I believe they should be fines based on their global revenue, just like the EU fines alphabet, meta and apple. If a fine doesn’t hurt in their global financial picture, they don’t give a shit.

Grindr had qn Operating Income of $55 Million kn 2023
So the fine is over 10%. Still hurts id say

But like I said, I believe global revenue is a better measure for global corporations when it comes to how large fines should be. They have to be large enough to make these companies proactive and not just reactive.
