Discussion on answer by phoog: Is asking users to waive GDPR compliance a legal way of escaping GDPR data handling requirements?

@jwenting You don't think twice about speeding when you're making 1,000,000,000 Euro a year, thats why it's income dependent. 100,000 Euro a year is more than most people have which makes it a punishment. It't not a punishment when its 0.001% of your income. Thats why GDPR charges 20M or 4%, whichever is higher--To make sure even Mrs 1B per year still feels the pain of speeding

@user253751 Well, the purpose of traffic fines is to finance the police department, but you're right for most fines.
