Meta made €13.11B from Europe (not the EU but close enough) in 26Q3,[1] so this is more like 1.37 months only-Europe revenue. Having said that, even this paltry amount is enough to get the US administration threatening trade wars, so I guess that’s a factor that plays into the EU’s reticence to fine more. Well, that and the fact that the Irish DPC are corrupt to the core.
