> YouTube earned millions of dollars by then using this information to target ads to the children, according to the complaint. How many millions? Because if it's $500m then I'm going to pissed off because Google's just going to consider the fine a cost of doing business and continue about their merry way. But if they only made, like, $2m from this information, then the fine seems like a legitimate tool to stop this sort of shitty behavior.

I tend to think that it'll still be considered a cost of doing business. They'll just figure out another way to do what they want and deal with the consequences if needed.

  If they continually lose money on such things then it's a good deterrent. Big IF there.
