I don't necessarily disagree with this ruling, but it's sad that EU governments now take in more revenue from fining US tech companies than from taxing local tech companies. An entire continent is on the path of becoming parasites instead of builders. Will they ever adopt a growth and abundance agenda again?

Maybe companies that break eu/local rules could respect the law

Do you have a source for that, or did you just make it up?

If the US tech companies stop behaving this way, maybe.

US tech companies already avoid paying jackshit by moving to Ireland.

So apple Ireland sells services and devices to apple italy on which the profit is all in Ireland.
