> scaled to the offense, not the offender So how big is the offense? 80 million people directly just in the Cambridge Analytica case, plus how many hundreds of millions indirectly through the resulting election hijinks? Facebook was already sanctioned under the consent decree, and they deliberately and recklessly disclosed user data, and then tried to cover it up. Scaling to the offense, I'd say that a fine of far less than $100 per user is extremely lenient under these circumstances. And just wait -- months or years from now we'll learn that Facebook didn't even pay the full $5B, but had a large portion deferred or possibly even structured with bogus "in-kind" payments.
