Breach. Get sued. Pay Fine. Rinse. Repeat.
At this point it looks like governments want the money and companies are gleefully willing to pay.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I get it that millions isn't much but it's something, and at least it sends a signal.
Frankly, the whole "it's pointless, so this is stupid" response to some things is more tiring to me than anything. What exactly is the end-game for these people? All or nothing? That is just delusional. It is simply not how progress is made. So let's be appreciative of what little is done, and push for more?
Not to mention the amount of people in here just focusing on the fine - by the way, I don't know how people can square the belief that these companies are endlessly greedy and will do anything for more money, with the belief that half a billion euros lost profit will just sit well with them - while completely ignoring the bit where these companies either comply or face even more fines.
All in agreement behind closed doors with the EU bureaucrats
