I still think @EUCommission 's #fines are not a real "#penalty"!
- Banning #Apple and/or jailing it's C-level in contempt until they comply would be.
After all, if I were to do the same shit [hypothetically, as a small and/or domestic business in the #EU] I'd soon face a judge dismantling my business as a "criminal enterprise" and stripping it for assets to pay damages, alongside confiscating any profits made.
- €500M sounds like a lot, but a #TrillionDollarCompany like Apple will just file these as "#losses" or "#OperationalCosts" in their #taxes and thus reduce their already low #tax bill even more.
Remember: If the penalty for a crime is a fine it's only illegal for the poor!
