      You’d be surprised. When fines are commonly in the billions, they start to care as a matter of fact. At least proper companies do. Criminals with scam businesses are a different story of course.

          I was not talking about erhical companies just companies that can’t just go bankrupt without a trace. Google and Co do actually care about billions of fines. Why do you think US tech fascists are so hysterical about EU regulations. If they didn’t care they would just ignore them
