Rubo Calls EU Fine on Platform 'Discriminatory'

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday that the fine imposed by the European Union on a social media platform is 'discriminatory' and 'has nothing to do with data protection.' He claimed that this step undermines American companies and harms transatlantic relations. 'The European Union must stop discriminating against American companies and focus on the real protection of its citizens' data,' Rubio stated. This remark came after the European Commission fined the platform 1.2 billion euros for violating user privacy rules.
