Except the EU has already told them fuck off, or they will shut down their EU operations. Did they resolve that?
Probably they don't give a f*ck about it and once they can pay the resulting fine from the petty cash, they just won't mind... 💩
Fines for violating GDPR can be up to 4% of the previous year's global revenue. Not just profits. Not just within EU. They'd have to fully withdraw from the EU market to flaunt the law this egregiously.
Or consider they might find 4% worth it
Statista puts their 2024 GR at $164 billion. That would make a max fine of $6.5 billion per year. I'd almost be willing to just take that deal.
