I cackle every time Facebook gets fined by the EU and all the people who are like "omg they only fine American tech companies, that's unfair"

which a) is not true as far as I know b) would be rad if it was true.

@packetcat it'd be really funny but if you look up the EU budget it absolutely dwarfs anything they could possibly fine them for
