    $100k is nothing to these people. It’s like your or I paying $0.25 a day. They see it as the cost of doing business.

      Norway has a population of 5-6 mil. I don’t think there’s enough of them to generate 100k/day, is there? Or maybe that’s worth it, what do I know? They’re not gonna get fined that much anyway

      It should be a number “per user” “per day” not just a “per day”. Make it really hurt based on how much it’s being done.

        Or just make a cost per day that is punitive.

        If I did something outright evil and criminal, and my only punishment was a $0.25 fine, I would feel motivated to keep doing it again.

          My point is that the costs shouldn’t be the same if you do something evil to one user, vs a million. If it were, it’s just a loss leader until I can make more than I lose.

        Right, but it’s not really about getting money for their country. Or at least it shouldn’t be.

        It’s about punishing corporations for not following their laws/regulations, and making the consequences onerous enough to dissuade them and others from doing it again.
