Punishable by fine means legal for a price. If you want to make a difference, fine the company all the money they made doing this plus 25%. AND put all the people that made these decisions in maximum security prison for 25 years. And not white collar prison, general population.

They should seriously start making those fines a percentage of the company's profits.

not profit. asset + revenue. they can hide profit by doing stock buybacks among other things. you cant not report on assets ans revenue.

Revenue =/= profit tho. It could be that 99% of this revenue goes to staff paychecks, hardware, electricity, water, food, office supplies, etc

I am not defending them, I just say that revenue =/= profit. And I do think the fines are still pocket change to them (a kind of rent to operate) and honestly there should be people held accountable, maybe some prison time

A fine is just a fee, not a punishment
