How about real fines?

So far all these fines have been "ugh that's one day of net profits only", be it at Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook - you name it. Are there kickbacks involved to keep the fines at a minimum?

Yeah, fully agree. Fines for companies bigger than a certain threshold should be percentages of their global annual income and potentially include jail time for the decision makers that enabled them.

As long as these are the incentives companies/execs will continue to do this shit
