102 million is a major fine for you. For meta that's less than 1% of their last quarter (which was 13 billion net income).
If you make $50k/yr after taxes, the equivalent fine would be on the order of about $120.
Where I'm from, that's a speeding ticket.
Wow you have very forgiving traffic laws where you're from. $190 for rolling through a stop sign here.
I've been told we have state senators who openly claim to only be there to keep speeding tickets low.
