is quite high.

"quite" high? Are you serious. These fines are unbelievable.

That's the point, and it's the maximum. 4% is there as the nuclear option for repeat offenders.

What exactly is insane about giving the citizens control over their own data and about making it more difficult for companies to monetize that data?
I don't think that the fine is ridiculous high, by the way. I think it's too low.

Unbelievably low. It's really pathetic at how not serious these fines are

And yet apparently not enough of a deterrent, because it keeps happening.

This was a one occurrences, and TikTok stopped it 3 years ago. The laws are getting tighter and tighter (and vaguer and vaguer), that's why "it keeps happening".
