What's 12,000,000,000? The world population is roughly 8 billion, so that can't be the number of users. Maybe number of views?

12,000,000,000 is the amount of revenue one single tech company (TikTok) made last year.

And apologies, just realized the fine was in Pounds, not Dollars, not that it makes a difference.

I'm guessing 12b is a relevant financial number
