$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%?
