According to the #HomeOffice themselves, the bulk of these businesses *are* now compliant with regulations (this might explain why many have raised their prices in recent months) >>

#Funfact: #Germany has that in most cases with #fines, being defined as "day sets" which is equal to the total income of a person after taxes and fees.
Otherwise set fines would be insultingly low and not work as a tool to decentivize bad actions.

A fine is just that: it’s fine. Just pay us a cut of your profits and keep doing what you’re doing.
But the #library-friendly measures are being outpaced by bills in mostly #RedStates that aim to restrict which #books #libraries can offer & #threaten #librarians w/ #prison or thousands in #fines for handing out “obscene” or “harmful” titles. At least 27 states are considering 100 such bills this year, 3 of which have become #law…. That adds to nearly a dozen similar measures enacted over the last 3 yrs across 10 states.

You know what would really stop corporate malfeasance? Every infraction, no matter how small the fine is set to 10% of their market value. Now that would be proper corporate regulation. #today #Corporations #Fines.
@JuliusGoat *nodds in agreement*
One can cleary see this because #fines as a #punishment make certain actions only illegal for #poor people.
For example: Illegally parking somewhere despite signage banning it is seen as a "business expense" by rich people instead, as it's cheaper than pay for a fixed parking spot in a garage...
TikTok was already fined 12.7 million in the UK for illegal processing the data of over a million children. Now the EU is going after them breaching children's privacy Laws.
Fines - do you think they should be based on income? For example, should a millionaire face the same fine for speeding as a minimum wage earner? Or should it be based on a percentage of income in order to have a more equal impact? The way fines are now, there is no incentive for the wealthy to follow the rules or laws. Lower income earners are more adversely influenced impacted. #fines #laws if you want to boost for more responses, that would be cool too.
