Right?! Meta's valued at 1.5T... So 0.025%
If someone makes $100k, that's an equivalent of a $25 fine.
I get your point, but those are two different values. The first is total value of the company (which you could probably compare to someone's net worth) while the second is yearly income.
Meta's annual profit is $60.46 billion.
So, if maths on a sunday morning don't fail me, for a person making 100k yearly, that's a $625 fine more or less. A slap in the wrist and a kiss in the forehead.
No no no, a person having 100k left after expenses. They mentioned profit, not revenue. So a really soft, tiny slap on the wrist, barely noticable.
Right. I don't disagree with you.
So 375 million will still only be a slap on the wrist.
