they should prove damages before setting fines like this.

the american gov is spending billions upon billions to defend the eu and they have the gall to nitpick & set 7 to 9 fig fines using %revenue (extortion) on their companies, which are btw providing valuable services (for free) to eu citizens. beyond ridiculous, especially with no sensible cap on the fines.

all the gdpr has done is make the web more miserable, someone from the usgov should give a call to the data protection office or wtv to remind them of their actual importance in the grand scheme of things.

and this is ignoring the damage they're doing to their own tech ecosystem with this over-regulation.
