A truly fair punishment would be people going to jail (or the threat of it), like is the case for virtually any other crime. This shit isn't going to stop unless people refuse to do it because of the risk of jail.

Setting aside the whole “fair” issue, I suspect Alphabet could convince a lot of execs to risk going to jail for a lot less than the fine levied here.

Corporations don’t go to jail.

But if by being an employee of such corporation you would have possibility of going to jail, there would be not that many candidates.
