A fine is merely the cost of doing business. We need to be throwing C-suite level people in jail.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Please read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social books including They Knew. Because…they did. And yet they did nothing. She explains why even as she hoped to be wrong.
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!
