        They increased the fines AFTER the event otherwise it would have been a lot more. Not that I expect it will make FB that more honest or anything.

        Why not just 10 cents? Amounts to about the same.

        They made billions on people's data and they get fined 500 000. Laughable.

        $500,000 pounds, is that a lot in UK money? Zuckerberg, literally makes that in about 29 seconds give or take a second or two. That's based on him continuing to average $9,000,000,000 a year. What was the point of this fine?

        No, it’s peanuts. Fines for criminality in UK are ludicrously small.

        Well, it sounds like with a little research (may some Analytics 😉) you could make a boatload of money in the UK with very minimal risk 🤔

        However as a result of this there are now new UK penalties for data breaches. “up to €20 million or 4% of the company’s global annual turnover of the previous financial year, whichever is higher.” So be careful, whatever you might be planning. 🤑😊

        That’s like 4 Trump payments to silence porn stars. Or 0.001% of the total amount of evaded taxes by the Trump family over the last 30 years.
