They saw how unpopular that was with unity and decided it's a great wrench to throw at the EU while still complying with the letter of the law.

while still complying with the letter of the law

Is that enough though?
I'm not sure about the EU level but in several states not only the letter of the law but also the intent of the law matters.

Edit: To clarify, I wonder whether it is enough for companies to follow the letter of the law while flagrantly ignoring the intent of the law.

I'm sure they can tighten it if it doesn't seem to work out.

[-] geissi@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not sure they would even need to tighten it.
See edit.

Amending the law to fix these issues would take another decade though, so maybe they're just trying to prolong the process.
