Interesting turn of events: That social media platform just hit #1 in France's news app rankings. This happened right after EU regulators slapped them with a €120 million penalty.
Download numbers? Actually spiked. Users seem to be flocking to the platform in response to the regulatory action.
Looks like the enforcement strategy didn't quite land as intended. Sometimes heavy-handed approaches create the opposite effect—more attention, more curiosity, more adoption. The Streisand effect in action, perhaps.

Haha, it's the same old story again. The fine has actually become the best marketing booster [rocket].

Haha, fines actually attract people instead? That's quite the move.

Haha, the stricter the regulation, the more popular it gets. This move is really something else.
