A chump change fine of $20 million will neither harm nor prevent Facebook (they don't get to be Meta) from doing the exact same thing tomorrow.

So true, such fines seem to factored in as the cost of doing business, given how many there have been, across many different jurisdictions.

Fines should be more extreme and ongoing until policies are changed. Like $20 million plus $5 million a day until xyz is changed.
