Very disappointed that Google were not fined by the UK body. Also disappointed that the US authorities fined Google such as paltry figure especially when it found that Google "deliberately impeded and delayed" the US investigation for months. A fine of $25,000 is pocket change to Google.
Inconsequential fines (and even worse, no fines) send the wrong message to companies about the severity of their wrongdoing.
