That’s why knowingly breaking the law and causing irreversible damage to an ecosystem should result in jail time, not just a fine. A fine is a cost of doing business for these people.
Along with an economic death penalty.
Google should be forced to give up a percentage of it’s revenue. If it can’t afford that, it needs to give up equity.
