Oh no, 4 minutes of profit for Amazon. That’ll learn them.
$35 million is a rounding error for Amazon. They don't care. When the punishment is a fine, then it's not a problem for the rich.
It’s literally what they consider as the cost of doing business, they have data models about how many laws they can break and what the gains are vs fines. The fines are never more than the gains
Not even a slap on the wrist.
What a joke of an amount.
A little ironic considering France's recently approved plans for mass surveillance.

Pay a cost of doing business fee to the government. Thank you, Amazon, for choosing France.
