    Of course. EU latest laws changed the fines to a percentage of annual revenue to make them effective, but US is still collecting pennies with their settlement agreements.

      But how could you define a percentage for every little thing that may come up? When is the percentage decided during the case, and who decides it?

        Fines and other sanctions are decided by the European Commission under Digital Markets Act (DMA) and Digital Services Act (DSA).

          So really it’s just the same thing with an extra step. They decide how much money it should cost the company, look of the companies profits, and give a percentage that matches the value they wanted.

            Even at the lowest 1% fine of annual revenue would have been 17 million. So no, 3 million =/ 17 million. At maximum 6% it would have been 102 million.
