I think a lot about the proposed TikTok fines Apple and Google face for hosting TikTok. What's the total now? Multiple billions I think..
In big tech stuff we usually see piddly fines that don't change behavior (it takes mere days for Big Tech to make enough money to pay the previous years fines..) then in this one case they had the fines large enough that Apple and Google had to pay attention then they never enforced the fines anyhow (whether good or bad to enforce).
I don't know why this fine model isn't used for something like privacy stuff where all companies just steamroll past them as a cost of doing business not think to avoid (including digital health companies we study).
Just a thought
