I was just reading about a violation of the Canadian fisheries act that has a maximum penalty of $200k, and realized the absurdity of there ever being a maximum fine.
There should be no maximum fine on any corporate penalty given that we do not cap the size of corporations or their bank accounts.
It would be like having maximum jail terms of 25 years for immortal beings that can live to 10,000.
Has anyone actually got hit with big gdpr fines?
Lots of ‘em for meta; just about all US big tech.

Those are fines that have been given but did they actually pay? Or was it just a big headline the one time and then they appealed it and 5 years later it’s reduced to nothing.
