There is another story on the HN front page about the FCC fining wireless carriers for sharing location data. Someone left a comment comparing the fine for each carrier to their yearly revenue. The biggest fine was for only 0.1% of the carrier's yearly revenue.
What the Internet Archive did was obviously illegal, no matter how well intentioned, and I'm disappointed in how they've handled the situation. But what those carriers did is arguably much worse in regards to the public good. So why is the IA looking at its potential end while those carriers receive wrist slaps?
