        This fine only goes to the US government. Users in other countries get nothing

              725 million is just like a 725 USD for Meta. Should be 725 billion and that amount definitely going to leave some dent on them.

                considering how big they play a role in a country's election by helping corrupt politicians, they should be fined $700 Billion not millions smh.

                  $725 million only? They should be made to pay at least $725 billion for selling their users data, privacy violations and stealing videos from other websites for ad revenue.
