In a globally spanning company, it doesn’t make sense to separate it in to different markets like that when it comes to fines for breaking the law IMO. If the same practice that caused this to happen in Norway is profitable elsewhere, nothing is going to change and the Norwegian “mishap” is just cost of doing business.
No it may not be, but it’s one company and I believe they should be fines based on their global revenue, just like the EU fines alphabet, meta and apple. If a fine doesn’t hurt in their global financial picture, they don’t give a shit.
But like I said, I believe global revenue is a better measure for global corporations when it comes to how large fines should be. They have to be large enough to make these companies proactive and not just reactive. 10% of their global revenue is almost 50% of their income, now that is going to make a difference.

But what might be illegal in Norway isn’t necessarily illegal or finable in other countries
I’m not sure how they Norwegian courts landed on this number though.
