I hope they can afford the 100 dollar fine they get

$100 dollars! Are you crazy! That will bankrupt them and put thousands of people out of jobs!!!

How about at give them $1,000,000 dollars to help them do better, but not actually enforce any of the rules.

Is there any GDPR like entity for greenwashing in the EU? Would love to see them get fined hundreds of millions of euros or 10% of their revenue, whichever is higher
