    Europe already done a lot of that as well I think. Even If I appreciate their concerns. It’s obviously not what’s gonna make them stop.

        This is why I think all fines, both for corporations and people, should be based on a percentage of their income. A lot of European countries already do this for people.

          I’m pretty sure fines based on GDPR is supposed to be a percentage of profits. This is not GDPR related and that’s why the French CNIL were competent and not Ireland’s and Luxenburg’s watchdogs.
