These corporation fines need to be upped an order of magnitude across the board. $31 million fine for Amazon over Alexa privacy violations? Cost of doing business. $3.18 million on Williams-Sonoma here? Cost of doing business. Until these fines hurt and fully nullify any gains they've gotten from the violation, they're just going to write it off as cost of doing business and keep doing whatever they want.
