I wonder how well the money retrieved will be used by the government and how the company is going to cope.

Are employees going to be fired because their privacy was being infringed?



The government will use the money as it sees fit. You don't like what your government spends money on? Don't vote for the ruling party at upcoming elections. That laptop website had a turnover of 879 million Euro in 2018, btw. They'll probably manage. Your priorities are weird, though. "How will the criminal entity cope with the consequences of their unlawful actions?"


It is a business risk and an employee risk to work for a company doing shady stuff.

Yeah, may backfire on employees but this fine is not about the employees but the company violating a law.
