Headline should be, "European Commission demands their cut of the action." 🫴

A penalty is a deterrent either way and I'm glad that someone is standing up to this behavior. It's not an insignificant one. I would be even happier if we could spend it on EU common defense.

Less than 10% of their yearly revenue. Just saying.
