Oh noooooo 1 billion dollars…such a heavy fine…
Make it 60 billion.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This. Fines should be percentage of wealth. Otherwise they’re just a sticker price on breaking the law.

But $60B is more than Musk bought Twitter for, and there’s no way it increased enough that $60B would be a reasonable percentage of income in any capacity.

Nice idea but the state wouldn’t be able to know how much one owns. I am poor, but I have more hidden wealth than declared wealth
IGuessThisIsMyName@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This would be a fine against X though right rather than Elon himself? Surely the company wouldn’t have that kind of cash available and would need to take drastic action to raise that amount.

Oh, gosh! That sounds SO bad! Go on, tell us in explicit detail all the drastic measures that X would face. Tell us all the pain they would endure! Spare no detail.

Yeah…yeah almost there…

Get back to me when they spell Billion with a T

I believe it when they actually do it
vxx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Theyve find meta for 800 million in the past.
There’s a reason there’s so much anti EU sentiment on social media.
merdaverse@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s never enough. Companies that make this much money just write it off as the cost of doing business.

So a slap on the wrist? A significant one sure but just ban them if you want to be serious and make an example out of them
mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 months ago
but just ban them if you want to be serious
But if you ban them you can’t continue to fine them…
oxysis@lemm.ee 2 months ago
If you want X and other American social media platforms to keep undermining your democracies then sure just fine them. But if you want to get serious then kick them to the fucking curb

Fine.

Well then do either one instead of just loudly proclaiming you might do something

Why stop at 1

What have they done to earn that fine?
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 months ago
more details from last summer
Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 months ago
Also interferes with our elections, which might get them banned completely
muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I don’t agree with the first one but the other 2 seem reasonable.
Little8Lost@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I hope that after the fine goes into action he loses more investors further deminishing his wealth
does not matter to me if the actual fine is lower when in the end he pays a higher price. (but big numbers are nice so: go europe)
SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Add some more zero’s EU.
wieson@feddit.org 2 months ago
Hopefully it’s a European billion (million, milliarde, billion, billiarde etc) so 10^9
skitazd@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Just ban the thing
FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Good. Go ahead.

Don’t talk about doing the thing and do the thing.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 months ago
in a democracy the latter has to be preceded by the former.
singletona@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Forgive me for being jaded and bitter about the opposition party being nothing BUT ineffectual talk.
orwellianlocksmith@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The talking happened when the law was being promulgated. Now it’s in effect, and so time for action.
