Will the sanctions cost them more than the profits from their sneaky plan?

  Meta could be fined up to 4 percent of its annual turnover if consumer protection authorities are unsatisfied with Meta’s proposed solutions.
  
  So from 134 billion, 4% would be 5.36 billions.

    Do you mean profit when you say “turnover”?
