On: Europe’s New Privacy Rules Favor Google and Facebo...

So a spyware producer had to shutdown a spyware based product because of the GDPR? That's working as intended.

Hopefully it will bite the giants the same way.

Giants have too much at stake and too many resources at their disposal. Either they will throw tons of resources to fend off the problem or they will take a few bites. As an example, Google's stock was unaffected even after being fined $2.6B last year.

What is this supposed to be an example of?

[RestlessMind → ryanlol]

How government regulations and penalties won't really bite the giants. (to address GP's point)

The fine didn't really come as a surprise, I'm not sure why you'd expect it to have a visible effect on the stock price?

[Someone → RestlessMind]

That may be because the market already had accounted for it.
