Nice to see a reasonably sized fine. In the US it would be like 5 million and they'd spend 10 times that fighting it in court and still not affect their profits for the month.
It's only reasonable if they earned 1.8 billion or less from it.
Otherwise they'll just do it again.
Not necessarily, it could be that if they put the work into something else instead they would've made more when you account for the fine, so it could still not be worth it compared to alternatives.
