Cherry picking the foreign company with the deepest pockets for “crimes” every game developer commits these days?

Surely, HN of all places recognizes that the EU fines Meta/MS any time they have a shortfall in their budget.

Am I supposed to be upset at this?

Can you show me the graph that shows the relationship between "EU budget shortfalls" and "Meta/MS fines".

Should Apple/Google be liable as platform?

I'm trying to imagine how you envision regulation without going after the biggest individual apps that enable child financial fraud & sexual grooming.
