It is interesting to see which reporting includes and which didn't include the following quote or paraphrasing:

EU regulators said Meta failed to protect personal information from the prying eyes of American security services.

The EU, a collection of extremist, authoritarian, alt-left countries, seem expectantly hypocritical, since they've already pledge support for the banking multi country agreement to automatically share all their citizen's personal information, wealth, employment, and savings data to several dozen other countries for lame 'tax evasion' excuses...totally not for AI analysis, surely.

There are two types of fines. Trivial ones, and big ones. First is the type that a company just pays with a smile because they made twice as much money doing the misdeeds that they're being fined for in the first place. An example of that is here. https://apnews.com/article/settlement-fake-public-comments-net-neutrality-ae1f69a1f5415d9f77a41f07c3f6c358

And then there are the huge fines; companies typically just weasel out of those.
