   Goolag has to pay a 391 million dollar fine for tracking users.
   Meanwhile, that same Goolag's revenue in 2021 was almost 257 billion dollar, so 391 million dollar is just pocket money to them.
   Don't expect it have had any impact on them at all.

     @ryo No problem, the government will give them more grants to make up for it. Meanwhile, who knows where that "fine" will go? Certainly not to the people harmed, especially when it wouldn't be even one dollar per American, and that's just one country. Easy money laundry.
     
     Even then, a fine is not gonna cover it. As far as I know, you can't pay a fine to get away with murder (well, unless you are rich enough to just bribe the system), and what Google does is way, way worse than just killing a few people (hell, they have contributed to millions of deaths just in the last couple years). Fines are what the low-level employees and small share holders should pay, just enough to really fuck them up because contributing to this evil shit should have consequences. The higher ups and big share holders, on the other hand, should get a life sentence. And of course, all the data that they have collected should be destroyed.

     @TerminalAutism These so-called "fines" are for money laundering, always have been.
     This is why they're "fined" every single year by this much amounts.
     And as an extra bonus, it makes the masses believe that there's still law and justice, and that the government is totally not in bed with big tech while they are.
     A formula that only doesn't work to the minority of people who actually know what's going on.

     @udon @TerminalAutism Once you follow the money, you'll know all the world's truth.

     @udon @ryo Rhetorical question, I know, but my source is just some logic. It's actually based on no information at all and I have no idea where the money goes, it just makes sense and explains a lot.
