Comment on Korea fines Twitch $327k for suspending service

Comments

If they're exiting anyway, what happens if Twitch just doesn't pay the fine?

Amazon owns Twitch and I guess it has a large presence in SK, so the govt will find a way to extract the fine, for example by enjoining Amazon's bank to transfer them the money.

And given the (relatively) small amount of the fine, they'll probably pay it to avoid any risks.

I guess it has a large presence in SK

It doesn’t.

AWS has a big data center at least

I guess Amazon will likely just pay just to move on.
