Isn't the question why was it 50x? I agree that there's definitely a value prop here where it's worth upfront money to avoid potential damage (moral caveats aside lol). But it seems unlikely that the FCC was like "100 million and we depose Zuck, or 5 BILLION and we let it go", which feels borderline blackmail-y. Why did FB propose 50x as opposed to some smaller number as part of the proposed deal?
