   Someone recently fined Facebook $17 Billion. It was on the front page of NYT for 6 days (like as if it was a huge "get").

   About 1% of FB's market cap. And their sins get washed away.

   Everybody wins.

   At this rate, fining tech-cos will be a major source of revenue for governments. Everybody wins.

      It's like taxes with extra steps, except you get taxed for someone polluting you!
