Wow pocket change. Why fines always so little. This be like fining the average person 3 cents. This will not stop them from just doing it again.

Needs to be a large percentage of thier gross wealth. Musk one riches men in the world and fine him billions.

The fines start small, it's the same in the EU. Then they get bigger until you're being threatened with 40% of worldwide revenue.
