It sets a precedent in law:

    Brad Gilde, a lawyer for D.L., said that he did not expect the full $1.2 billion to be paid out, but that he hoped it would serve as a deterrent for others.
The message is that unless you're well north of a few billion, Texas will make revenge porn perpetrators hurt financially.

Exactly. And if you are well north of a few billion, the next jury can determine that in your case the penalty should be one trillion.
