Re:Two senators say a $5B fine isn’t enough to punish Facebook by eeeeeeeeeeeee on Wednesday May 08, 2019 @08:39AM (#19858234)
How else do you give a sufficient deterrent if the fine doesn’t hurt and make you reconsider future actions?

A couple hundred dollar fine is not a deterrent to me speeding in my car, but multiple thousands of dollars would be.

You can absolutely make the case that 5bil is not much to Facebook, especially if it solidifies their safety going forward without any real behavioral changes / enforcement.
