Well 1.2 million euros fine is nothing to Facebook. That won't stop them from anything

- FridgeSeal 9y agoApparently that was for only 3 users. It does however set a precedent, and if someone could take further evidence of this to court, on a much larger scale, those fines would stack up very quickly (as they ought to).
- BurningFrog 9y agoDo you really think FB owes each of its users 400k Euros for its crimes?
- kbart 9y agoIf fine <= of profit from illegal activities, it just encourages to act, because in the worst case scenario you still won't lose anything. I'd say 400k Eur is just about right in this case.
- kbart 9y agoThat's just a warning shot. Next time they get caught for the same thing it won't end so well, so it's just like saying: "stop what you are doing or there will be consequences, here's some little fine so you take us seriously".
- baxtr 9y agook, makes sense. I didn't realize it was for 3 users only. I still wonder how impressed they really are...
