It's a good start to negotiations. Maybe they'll get $2B from FB. FB will likely fund the current politicians' re-election campaigns in a quid-pro-quo to drop/reduce charges.

Either way it's a good move on the part of governments to apply pressure to a known shady actor.

Not all countries do politics the same way as the US.

Sigh... nothing you've said above is illegal in the US except doing so by explicit agreement and that's insanely depressing.
