not the one who asked the questions, but I actually think 4% are not enough.

If Google or Meta makes 10% of their earnings with that shit and they have to pay max 4% they still have a 6% margin over - not doing it.

IMHO there should be a 4% fine additionally to paying back all the illegally generated earnings. Also, more executives should go to jail for it - And that's the C-Level Executives, because it's them which are accountable.

Problem with those things: usually it still hits the little ones harder than the big players...



US law has the concept of "civil contempt" to address willful lawbreaking of this sort. At that point executives risk jail time.
