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.)
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.
