This is like when Dr Evil asks for $1 million dollars after being unfrozen. These courts need to get with the times.

Should be like GDPR fines: 4% of your annual global revenue.

Edit: just read "It has so far fined Meta a total of 2.5 billion euros for breaches under the bloc's General Data Protection Regulation's (GDPR), introduced in 2018, including a record 1.2 billion euro fine in 2023 that Meta is appealing"

Wow, Meta really likes donating to the EU
