To note, they were also forced to delete the collected data, though the insights they've already extracted / profits from data they've already sold may offset both the point and the $2.2 million fine.
- abandonliberty 10y agoYou're right, good insight. I was thinking purely about risk/reward for other players in the market. The fine is 0.4% of the Note 7 recall cost, not including brand damage. A fine this nominal could easily be seen as the cost of doing business - if you get caught.
- codedokode 10y agoIf they really have sold 10 million devices then the fine is 22 cents per device.
- cwilkes 10y agoVizio might be able to delete the data but there is not much of a chance that the data brokers they sold to can. Probably already baked into their models. Plus how is this verifiable? The fine should be a lot higher to discourage this action.
