The price is equal to the profit google makes in about half an hour. Nice gesture but no really a disincentive - would you work to make these fines painful for offenders?

Companies do not commit crimes or breech privacy. People do. Unless the people who make these decisions are charged instead of fining companies, nothing will change. It's the same with banks and other corporations. Jail the perpetrators.

Companies are liable for whatever happens within the confines of their property. That's why they invest in security and safety. Any one caught, tried and convicted should be punished to the extent of the law.

170 million is peanuts to them. Hit them with a fine of 17 billion if you want to see them change.

Make her president and she might do just that.

I agree with you though. The penalty for corporate crime must be commensurate with corporate gain.
