So Amazon can just say "fuck the law" and get negative fines ? It obviously doesn't work.

- mattigames 3y agoWell, one could say that that is a problem about how Amazon is allowed to use some shady accounting tricks to declare low net income, and therefore that problem is the one that should be addressed directly.
- avianlyric 3y agoI don’t think GP is suggesting that the fines should be calculated based on net income. Just that you should evaluate the _impact_ by comparing to net income. So in Amazons case you absolutely see a fine greater than their net income, but still only 1% of their revenue, and obviously such a fine would have a greater impact on Amazon than the equivalent 1% fine applied to Facebook.
