It's not only the fine, it's the bad publicity those companies get when getting the fine
Damage to their brand worth billions
Cambridge analytica scandal costed FB a lot more then the fine
It cost them in their users trust
and that's the worst kind of punishment a large brand such as facebook can get
- kaolti 7y agoAll fair points, but I wouldn't exactly call damage to brand reputation the single worst punishment a corporation can get though. Can easily think of an infinite number of worst punishments. I guess there is a parallel with actual people. Personal reputation matters, but surely we need to be a bit more harsh when punishing certain behaviour.
- nojvek 7y agoThe worst kind of punishment is if Mark Zuckerberg went to jail and every media was broadcasting him in handcuffs. It would have sent a strong message to other CEOs. Don’t fuck with people’s data. But that seldom happens. It’s US, the rich rule the country.
