And yet either way it still would not, IMO, be as significant a point as you think.

Ah, but you are be very wrong.

  • Given that we have to take you on your merits as an entirely anonymous source, I think they're actually very right.

    • I am assuming that the parent poster worked in Google’s ad tech or analytics unit. Perhaps another FAANG. Perhaps Facebook.

      Still: that doesn’t make the assertion about the size of Facebook’s FTC settlement and all GDPR settlements as significant as they think, for a bunch of important reasons that start to be obvious once you break it down.

      The parent poster could be posting from a FAANG C suite, and it wouldn’t change that it’s an apples and oranges comparison.
