One advocate called the fines "a very important victory in the fight to ensure consumers' safety online." The director of the Norwegian Consumer Council, Inger Lise Blyverket, put out a statement celebrating the ruling, calling it "a very important victory in the fight to ensure consumers' safety online."

        But 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.
