Or a fine of 6% of global revenue, which isn't small.
And it isn't large enough, either.
This is revenue, not profit. It would be an incredibly high fine that most companies would struggle with. It's incredibly impactful, and no company is brushing off this kind of legislature.
This grandstanding isn't useful, this is a good thing and you're blustering about to make this about your own grandstanding instead.
Still too low. 56% is fitting. Nationalize that misinformation shithole.
Ah yes, government run social media. Nothing could go wrong with that.
Well, it could good. But only if it's done right, like government run news channels in Denmark, then it would be amazing!
It works like this: News channels get money to bring news, but you can make news about everything. And yes, you can criticise the government all you want in these news, and it happens daily.
Then the news channel can't take any sponsorships what so ever. There's no owners, there's no lobbying. It's just news like it should be.
