Google has been successfully sued over and over again by the EU, and yet, onward they go...

They basically write it off as a business expense at this point.

Nothing will happen until the net profit from their decisions reaches the negative numbers.

are they required to fix the problem?

Not in any significant way. They just can’t use the term end-to-end anymore. That’s not fixing anything.

Peanuts. Literally a rounding error on their balance sheet. They need to change these fines to a hard percentage of company net worth to make them notice.

I heard Robert Barnes say something interesting about this today. I believe it was something like, if what they did would have resulted in 5 years in prison if it was done by a person, then charge them 5% of their assets.

At the end of the day there is nothing that Facebook and Google will not do to get to your information. It is no surprised that Zoom lied like it did.
