Google, Facebook, TikTok and others face one of the most far-reaching efforts to clean up what EU residents see online.

violations could bring fines worth up to 6 percent of their global revenue – which could amount to billions – or even a ban from the EU.

Not too shabby! Seems like the laws at least have some teeth.

Wish GDPR had the same kind of teeth.
