The fines are relatively small given the tech companies' huge worldwide revenues - and are a fraction of Google's €2.4bn fine from last September.
But they are significant in the context of the current global economic situation. -

If they don't like the rules they can stay home. If Its too hard to operate in the EU then perhaps they need to stop gathering info on EU citizens and selling in the EU market.
