  "Pocket change", "Cost of doing business", and "Too big to regulate" all come to mind.

    Right, too small by about three orders of magnitude.

      Probably it would require regularly applied criminal charges enforced on company C-suite officers to make any change in behavior likely. Lately the only cases I know of where the CEO was charged were Ross Ulbricht and Liz Holmes. Notably absent from the list are the officers of Wells Fargo, who were not even fired.

  Compared to the 85M they just had to pay to Arizona alone[1], this is an absolute bargain for Google. Not even 400M for 40 states, what a joke. [1] https://www.engadget.com/google-arizona-user-tracking-suit-85-million-191649436.html https://www.engadget.com/google-arizona-user-tracking-suit-8...
