    AFAIK European law isn’t often based on common law, but Napoleonic Code / civil law. Ie. precedent is less relevant.

    Also, given Meta’s been fined 2.5 billion euros in the past few years, it sounds like they’re going after the big guys first.

      It’s absolutely not based on common law indeed but you can be sure that precedents are still a big thing especially for such regulations… we are watching like awks what’s happening everywhere because we know there will be a lot of consistency both on decisions but also on the topics being pursued.
