    Let them get fucked by EU fines then? At least they are big enough to not just be a slap on the wrist.

      I’m betting they are following the letter of the law perfectly, since the spirit of the law is being violated so blatantly.

      They likely had their lawyers pour over things to make sure they are exploiting every possible loophole.

        Violating the spirit of the law is still violating the law, at least in Germany; the EU may have similar rules.
