Maybe not that big of a deal. If Facebook doesn't comply, they only have to pay 20000€: http://translate.google.de/translate?twu=1?sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A//www.go

  Maybe more of a deal is that this is the first step in the legal battle. Now Facebook can appeal or ignore but that opens up to get a court injunction all the way up to the european courts until you get a decision on the highest level. Without a first injunction, none of that would be possible.

  Per violation. If they keep violating they keep paying and under my limited knowledge of the German law, repeated violations can go criminal.

  That is only their first fine. If German law is similar to Swedish law here nothing prevents future fines if FB just chose to ignore the ruling and pay the fine.
