Oh, you can guarantee they made a fuckton more than that per user from the data.

I vote that fines should be the turnover made from selling such data, then increase it by at least one order of magnitude.

Made $55m in data sales? That'll be $550m fine payable immediately, or C level execs get a minimum of a year in jail, thanks.

A couple of high profile major profit losses (or, ideally, bankruptcies and jail time for some of the smaller outfits who take the piss like this) would focus the mind a bit.

You know, you'd hope.

Well, I doubt it. I just want to watch the world burn.
