Meta Fined $1.3B Over Data Transfers to U.S.

Given that you are on HN, you are likely salaried employee. This means you are also generating income 24/7. If you were fined for 20 days of your income, would you still argue that this is "the definition of a trivial fine" for you? I certainly wouldn't.

I mean given the context we’re talking about? That’s absolutely trivial. A 20-operating-days fine wouldn’t touch my day-to-day life, I wouldn’t have to alter my behavior going forward at all, there would be almost 0 repercussions.

Would I enjoy it? Certainly not.

Would I change my behavior if it was generating billions in revenue? Certainly not.

How is this supposed to dissuade FB at all?
