    They’ll get a slap on the wrist fine that nowhere near accounts for the amount of money they made doing this.

      True but this also sets precedent for other cases which is an overall win. But i do wish the fines were bigger I agree with you there.

      I loved how EU set fines for GDPR breaches and I feel the same should be applied in other fields when companies are involved. There are two tiers of penalties, with a maximum of 20m euros or 4% of global revenue. That way they feel it. Really feel it. Google got smacked 50 million € for GDPR breach. H&M 35M.
