minus-squareRonSijm@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-214 days agoAlthough I agree with the sentiment - the article mentions that it’s “only” regarding about 1 mil people. (Probably South Korean users) So it’s still a $15 fine per violation. Could have been much higher, sure, but I don’t know if that’s a good return of investment for Facebook. Maybe this case sets an example for other countries or regulatory bodies to start issuing fines to Facebook as well
