Good to see Europe standing up to X
#EuropeanCommission levied a fine €120m for breaching transparency & data rules.
But why only 120m?
Transparency & data rules relate to the interests of 450 million people in the EU.
So the Commission reckons those interests at only some 37c per citizen!!!

Oh, I am sad to hear that, and totally understand.
Thanks mate.
I have a chronic condition and fully expect, later in life, to want the option to say “enough”.
It’s decades away, but nevertheless I hope the option is available to me. And others.

Thank you.
But just to be clear, *I* didn't say they were.
I said:
In every case, follow not only the arguments & the logic but follow also & most importantly which decision will make the most profit for which individuals & groups
Many "moral" positions are merely a mask for money interests
