      Something fun about Finland is that most of their criminal Justice system has “day fines”, i.e. the fine is based on losing a day’s labour etc. I have no idea if that holds true for corporations but if so…

        I am a fan. I think these should apply to companies as well.
        Imagine if the fine was “three months revenue because that’s the wasted time it costed people”.

    Will there be actual jail sentences is it going to be the usual fines that companies treat as cost of doing businesses and can even declare as expenses in order to reduce the taxes they pay?

      Right now I wonder if construction is/remains stopped until the matter is resolved. That would really show them to stop messing with local law.

      edit: it looks like this is the case ✊ - for how long though.

      And I hope it stays that way until the matter is resolved. Much better deterrent than fines.

      We need to teach big multinationals that they can’t just ignore local law.

    Holy shit, I genuinely didn’t expect them to care. Good on ya, Finland!

    I hope the plans for the data centre are suspended indefinitely, at the very least.
