fine Meta for calling it a tariff.
Looking forward to where this goes if Europe sticks to its guns when things get ugly. Let them belittle us, let them antagonize, misdirect and make fun.
We haven’t even started pressing where it really hurts the US and its oligarchs. Which is precisely their precious digital exports we all consume and barely tax.
Never give in to bullies. Absolutely never, no matter how enticing or harmless they make it seem. Watch them repeat a Trump-China by poking the bear then sheepishly back down and say “Europe needs to make a deal with us” when it bites their behind.
Penalty Tariff ? no, no Meta, this is what you need to pay monthly, for all the data you sell and use without consent!
Ban meta from the EU
800m is just a small change for them
That’s true, but they got fined for their violations which they want to continue, and future fines are likely.
Of course they want to politicize this. And the EU is being far too careful here, these amounts are only 1.5% of the maximum penalty. They got off easy
The cost of doing business for them. Make the fines actually proportional and ongoing until they stop breaking the laws
Ah, no. The real tariffs come when the EU starts to charge them through the nose for using EU customer data. This is on the agenda for when some real retaliation is needed.
Well, the Italian IRS decided that the Italian users data is worth €18 billion so they want to get €4 billion in vat from Facebook lol
Meta calls its penalty a ‘tariff’
That’s a retaliatory tariff. Meta broke the law, and the EU retaliated.
Meta is a tariff on humanity.
has zuck always been this fucking stupid, or has he just been eating his own dog food too long?
It’s manipulative, not stupid.
Don’t let him off the hook by claiming it’s him being stupid. He’s spewing bad faith bullshit
The rich and powerful are going mask off about being above the law. Fuck you lizard boy, and fuck Meta and their “products”
Well, now we know why Trump and JD Vance were saying anti-EU things lately
Oh yeah, wait! Law should be shaped after Meta’s way of doing business, so unfair.
Just trying to market on stupidity like Trump
