£500k, what a joke for a company like Facebook. I’m glad that GDPR has a wider range when it comes to fines.

True. It comes that GDPR is becoming more "want to have" than "must to have".

It's a shame. If I was FB I would continue to sell peoples data and pay the fines. Balance? = price of private data minus fines; That is great business.

Had it been £500'000 per violation, it might have made a difference.
