    Well, TikTok made an estimated $9.4B in revenue in 2022 making that fine 3.7%. That’s pretty big.

      Yeah i would imagine as a percentage of their income it is at least a double digit %

    If it’s not percentage based that’s just the cost of breaking that law if you feel like it.

      Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO) is called general data protection regulation (GDPR) in english, so data protection seems to be fitting for the context.
