> That's only an effective approach if your goal is to cripple many of the companies that you fine Yes, some companies should be crippled. With criminal sentencing, the first goal is to isolate that person from society as a punishment with reform being a second consideration. With criminals, judges or magistrates would level higher-end sentences as an example and you won't hear many people arguing against a criminal's 15 year sentence by saying it would cripple their economic output. Society owes nothing to corporations and this "too big to fail" mentality creates a system where corporations are above ethics. Seeing Facebook fined into to a point where they are seriously crippled as a company will make a lot of other companies change their tune, internationally, for the better.
