    They’ll probably appeal and do bullshit to negotiate it down and defer the payment.

    So, a consequence, but one absolutely built into the budget of the things they’re being fined for.

    Edit: oh wait i misread. This is actually something they already appealed and negotiated down already. The original judgement was years ago.

      Yes, that was already the appeal and Google lost in court. There is no regress to that. Google has to pay that fine.
