  • Fair enough, good reply.

    (Maybe Lemmy will bring back some good discussions in threads like these…)

    I think the public gets fatigued when we hear about the profits these companies make and then we see these comparatively small fines.

    If this is how we “steer the vessel of regulation” then I can accept that this is a push in a better direction.

    However, I still feel that a fine in the hundreds of millions, ( not bankrupting but a “shot in the leg” versus a “slap on the wrist”), is appropriate for these very large corporations. They already weild so much political and economic power that consequences for things like this should be higher.

    In other words, let’s encourage them to operate responsibly in the first place.
