And thats is all this is, it isnt for war profiteering it is for poor practices, sure it could be more but people really lose sight of things when it comes to fining these companies.

The fines for targetting children with damaging content or promoting harmful posts should be way more than this and than they are but this isnt an action they directly profitted from it was a lazy and harmful missing of the required mark.

Im not this invested in defending meta but 102 million is a lot for one country to fine one company. Ireland fined the company nearly 1% of their global net for one issue.
