Yes, A) there shouldn't be mafia period.

But also B) if both companies get fined almost same for i) doing something so obscene that I don't want to describe it and ii) thinking that banning any website or every in a short notice of 30 minutes worldwide by the mafia is undemocratic

This just doesn't send a strong signal if this is the only thing which happens to X, It would be a slap on the wrist for almost war crimes that it committed.

Charge them criminally for the first time. I read it when anthropic got fined I think ~6% or some Billions when they literally scraped all books without any consent and teh consensus on HN was to charge them criminally.

If the only result out of doing crime is fine, then crime's legal.
