The magnitude of the offence isn't measured by how much profit Facebook made from it. When a guy robs $1000 from a bank, he'll spend years in prison.

Likewise, Facebook's offence in intentionally and recklessly disclosing private data on tens of millions of users has no relationship to how much money Facebook made from the disclosure.
