Also it's not as if the US doesn't fine EU banks disproportionately compared to US ones.

Yep, and if you respect the tariff, you don't get fined. How hard is it?

"THE LAW IS THE LAW" is not an logical argument. Tariffs are also imposed via legislation (laws).

Just as EU companies have to abide by EU privacy regs, US firms also have to abide by US tariff regs.

This whole "the EU fining us for breaking EU law is a tariff" narrative is such BS. The big tech companies just don't like the privacy & consumer protection laws in the EU so now they're getting the US government to help them bully the EU into submission.
