Mark Zuckerberg's wealth is measured in billions [0], I think we should measure the fine in billions too.

"Facebook agrees to pay .0005b GBP fine over Cambridge Analytica scandal"

Looks pretty meaningless from this perspective.

To be pedantic, it's 0.0000005b.

0.0005b would be 500M.

But your basic point is correct. I'm sure Zuck is quaking in his boots that he'll soon be bankrupt.


wow, a whole 500k? I'm suuuuuure they'll never consider doing that again with such a steep fine /s
