I feel like the 1.38B is probably worth it to Google, if they can use these privacy violations to enhance their advertising scheme. It would be great if we had a better thing than just fines to discourage privacy violations.
When one person gets a fine, it's annoying and it works. If a small company gets a fine they are sure to behave better because they have a limited budget. But if a major, soulless tech corporation gets a fine, they have a highly efficient team of lawyers and optimizers to just make sure it's worth it because the transactional overhead is minimal for them.
