It's like.. 5 minutes of revenue for Google. I guess that fine will let them remember to respect the privacy of the users. Oh wait.

Irony aside, I thing this fine is too small for Google to learn something useful.


From August 9.

No clue why this one is making the rounds again, nothing has happened recently to make it relevant and I've seen it in multiple places.


The headline is a bit sensational — a $22.5M fine? A pin-prick to a Fortune 500 company.


It is an accurate fact.
