Not enough. The price for violating a human right should be enough to leave anyone bankrupt.
Fines like these should be exponential in some way, that way they can't keep getting away with it.
Nah, exponentiation is too good for them.
Fines should be tetrated.
You owe us $2
You owe us $4
You owe us $16
You owe us $65536
You owe us $2*10^19729

Explanation for the downvoters: The double up arrow is the symbol for tetration.
Explanation for dumbs: What is tetration?
2=2
2^2=4
2^(2^2)=2^4=16
2^(2^(2^2))=2^(2^4)=2^16=65,536
Besides panicking a few regional managers, this can only be a bad news for Meta if other countries, or even better, the EU follows them.
100kUSD/day for a 5.4M inhabitants country, that scales to 8.3M$/day for the total 450M inhabitants EU has (yes: I know that's not how it works, I'm doing a very gross approximation here).
That's would be 3B$/year. Now we're talking!
