    Yes that’s how it should be. But who determines if the person is doing it on purpose or if it’s a genuine mistake? There shouldn’t be ambiguity in the law, which is why you always either end up hurting corporations, or hurting citizens. Can’t please both with objective law.

      But who determines

      How about a governing body with systems of checks and balances? You’re pretending that laws are just out there enforcing themselves. The EU isn’t just some dude with a vendetta. It’s a large collection of people making decisions.

      And in fact as a business, in order to do business in the EU, you’ve agreed that the EU has the ability to make decisions like this.

        The system proven to show how corrupt it is every time it’s given a chance? Again, it’s cool when they’re doing to to someone else (specially Elon Musk who has too much power), until it’s you they’re coming for.

          Actions you don’t like aren’t corrupt.

          Actions Elon doesn’t like aren’t corrupt.

          In fact arguably Elon is the corrupt individual in this case and the EU is simply applying the law to the corrupt individual.

            Can you point to where I said or implied the opposite?

            In fact arguably Elon is the corrupt individual in this case

            I never said Elon was in the right. I have stated that his company must be punished for the decisions it made, not the owner as per the protections guaranteed by the law to company owners.

            the EU is simply applying the law to the corrupt individual.

            You mean the law that violates your rights as the head of a corporation, which is supposed to protect your assets from those of the company? Cool.
