This is a nice example of how - regulation is good actually. Absolutely massive fines for Meta, Google, Amazon etc. Actually confronting these corporate behemoths who act like they are above the law and fuck us all over, all the time, normally with impunity.
Oh gosh yes, I cannot wait for X to be in the firing line of this law, and I am here for that.
The law should actually encapsulate the spirit of "we only go over those whose negligence carries the most widespread consequence", and enshrine a "this act applies to all whose global annual turnover is 1,000x the UK national average salary" (this phrasing allows the threshold to move over time... today the national average salary is about £36k, meaning the threshold would be £36M... which covers every major company, but excludes all small voluntary, sports clubs, CIC, small business, small charities, etc.
X... holy crap, this law should just block X from operating in the UK and block their domain and IPs.
