The consequence was a $4.4 million fine. Definitely not a deterrent in my opinion given the potential upside.

It was a $4.4 million fine to the companies who did the astroturfing. But they were just the hired hands, the ones who hired them to astroturf were never penalized.

Crazy how we all never really do anything about this.

The wealthy and powerful certainly do have us all thoroughly distracted with our race/sexuality/immigration/etc wars don't they.
