A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

violations could bring fines worth up to 6 percent of their global revenue – which could amount to billions – or even a ban from the EU.

I feel like common knowledge of all the shit big tech companies have pulled throughout their history is sufficient justification for giving massive fines.
