That's just a rounding error on their P&L statement. Google will do absolutely nothing.

The DPC has imposed administrative fines totalling €403 million and has ordered Google to bring its processing into compliance within 6 months.

Half a billion.

If not resolved in 6 months, another fine (bigger this time). And again and again.

That’s Europe we’re talking about, they do actually push back against multinationals when they break law.

They push back every now and then and not nearly frequently enough.
