Yeah but you can’t fine them their entire revenue everytime.

The fine should make the offense non viable, so hopefully gambling ads that they hosted that went against the spirit of the law earned them less than 6 million.

Problem is that the system to screen ads to make sure they are legal is more than that, i.e. people, but also people with proper training, so you can’t just treat them like replaceable cogs.
