I'm sure if it was a $2.5bn fine, they'd be much more careful about customer privacy going forwards...

Yep, but it never will be a $2.5 billion fine.

Meta had been fined $1.3 billion this year by the European Union's GDPR. Before that Amazon was fined $781 million.

So 2.5 billion could happen, but not in the US obviously.
