France fines Google 500 million euros over copyright row

Correction: It will take Google just over a day to make that back based on their revenue from last year.

They must be shaking in their boots right now… You show ’em who’s boss, France!

@aral makes me wonder why fines like that are not based on revenue percentages

@valerauko @aral If it were a GDPR fine, the max would be set at 4% of annual global turnover. I'm glad to see hitting again. France currently holds the record for the largest fine of 50M eur, which was also against Google: enforcementtracker.com/?insigh
