    That seems like a pretty weak consequence, and not an intended one. Worse, it’s one likely to be least impactful for the worst offenders - a megacorp isn’t going to care much about fines, and the market won’t see any danger to their investment in them.

      If Mark Zuckerberg keeps breaking the law and gets Meta constantly fined, tanking the stockholder value, heck yeah he’s gonna be out of a job. That’s a relatively big consequence as far as consequences go.

        I certainly hope that happens. But it’s not a reliable enough consequence to justify the currently low level of fines, which was how I read your earlier comment.
