Are they gonna give Twitter more money then? /s
You're thinking of profit, not revenue
Are we sure ~~Twitter~~ ๐'s revenue is still in the positive? I don't think direct injections of capital count as revenue.
Revenue is money in before costs, so yes their revenue is still positive given they are actually charging some people positive amounts. Their earnings are quite likely negative.
$2bn in 2022 for non-US. https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/
Assume 80% of that is Europe, and a 25% drop in revenue since X, is $1.2bn, then 6% is $72m. This would likely be a daily fine of about $197K per day USD, minus shifty billionaire revenue reporting.
EU revenue fines are generally calculated by global revenue cause companies always try to shift the money to other countries.
What's the basis for assuming a 25%? Instead of, let's say, a 90%?
