    Putting this in fixed-width for scale:

    This ruling:                        375,000,000
Meta valuation:               1,618,000,000,000

    This isn’t even a slap on the wrist; it’s a fucking rounding error.

      Phrased in another way, it’s equivalent to if you had $1,618 in the bank and were fined $0.30.
