European regulators just slapped a fine on one major social platform for its blue verification system. The irony? Card payment data already links those verified accounts to actual identities.

Here's where it gets weird: another tech giant runs basically the same paid verification model. No penalty there.

Same product, different treatment. What's driving this inconsistency in enforcement?

Being able to treat them so differently is just unbelievable... one gets fined while the other is fine, who can really explain this clearly?

ngl this is just ridiculous, the same thing results in one being penalized and the other being fine... Could it be because one company has a bigger backer?

Isn't this blatant favoritism? It's unreasonable to punish one and not the others.

Selective enforcement, simply put, it's about playing favorites... But to be fair, the verification system tied to identity data indeed poses potential risks.

European regulators' double standards are unbelievable—one platform gets fined while another is fine. Isn't that just playing favorites?
