We have the power to fine companies up to £18m or 10% of their qualifying worldwide revenue – whichever is greater – and in very serious cases we can apply for a court order to block a site in the UK.
Firstly I’d expect regulators to focus on the big fish rather than this minnow. Secondly losing 10% of revenue isn’t a huge deal whilst any fines larger than that would get the entire news media rallying behind you. Shutting down the site is premature to say the least.
