    Fines like these should be exponential in some way, that way they can’t keep getting away with it.

    Besides panicking a few regional managers, this can only be a bad news for Meta if other countries, or even better, the EU follows them.

    100kUSD/day for a 5.4M inhabitants country, that scales to 8.3M$/day for the total 450M inhabitants EU has (yes: I know that’s not how it works, I’m doing a very gross approximation here).

    That’s would be 3B$/year. Now we’re talking!

    Not enough. The price for violating a human right should be enough to leave anyone bankrupt.
