$314.6 million fine is a whopping 0.35% of Google's 2025 Q1 earnings. Barely a tisk tisk.

That's like paying $30 for normal people.

Or less, as I considered a Q1 with a monthly salary of $3000. If your salary is lower than that—like mine is—then the fine would be worth less than $30.

Google must be like "you sure that's enough for you? I mean, we made BILLIONS with that data we stole afterall lol"

That's why I laugh when people say they voted in someone rich because he/she is already loaded so don't want more money–thinking they'll do the people's interest now, rather than their own.

The richer, the greedier.

People don't understand that just like we collect trinkets, the ultrarich collect money. They'll never have enough, because there'll always be more to collect... everyone else be damned.
