Theoretically, fines replace tax revenue, so you get compensated by lower taxes. (Practically, spending and income are decoupled and taxes are mostly just an inflation management strategy.)

I can understand it of course. But in this case I feel personally offended. I would like to see the money handed to me.
If most people in your country use Meta apps, whether it's a tax discount spread across the population or a payout spread across the userbase doesn't make a difference.
Personally I would like to see some execs go to prison, rather than taxing/fining a monopolistic corporation, which achieves nothing.
You don't have to explain taxes to me, it is a concept that is pretty easy to grasp, and - even though I understood it already - the grandparent post also explained it . And I touched the subject in my original post.
I guess what I am looking for is some kind of personal apology. And that could be manifested in a refund to mu bank account. As I explained above.
I don't think sending people to prison helps much.
A personal check would open the eyes for a lot of people and make them realize that this company committed a crime. Against you. And you are worth it.
