    The laws aren’t toothless, otherwise everyone would be abusing them,

    Have you heard of such small indie developers such as Google, Amazon or Facebook?

      The exact same ones who have millions in fines racked up and are paying them? Yes, I have heard of those.

        You said it yourself: Millions. Not Billions.

        For these companies, paying such a mundane fine is just the business cost of being able to do whatever they want. The execs figuratively (and perhaps literally too) piss out a fine payment every morning before reading the newspaper company whatsapp account.

          And you think that lemmy devs / admins being hit by thousands of dollars of a fine is going to go the same way facebook goes? That they’ll be able to ignore it and say it’s a cost of business? The giant corps get fined too. The US companies get fined too (for all the people saying “this EU law, me no care”.
