Meta has been temporarily banned from running behavioral advertising on Facebook and Instagram in Norway -- unless it obtains users' consent to the processing.
My point is that the costs shouldn’t be the same if you do something evil to one user, vs a million. If it were, it’s just a loss leader until I can make more than I lose.
It should be a number “per user” “per day” not just a “per day”. Make it really hurt based on how much it’s being done.
Or just make a cost per day that is punitive.
If I did something outright evil and criminal, and my only punishment was a $0.25 fine, I would feel motivated to keep doing it again.

The cost should be something that guarantees you can never profit from it.
