@randahl I love it too.

I asked before but got no answer: do you know how the money of these fines is used? Is it spent on social programs? Military use? Shared across member country? Self financing?

I know Apple and Meta were fined too, it adds up to nice sums! I hope it's for good use...

@fo I do not, but I suppose they benefit the entire EU budget.
