On Wednesday, the FTC announced a $5 billion fine on Facebook over rampant privacy abuses that violated a 2011 order — the largest in the agency's history. But even multibillion-dollar fines don't cause tech giants enough pain to stop bad behavior. For Big Tech, fines are a rational cost of doing business.Google, for example, has handed over more than $9 billion to the European Commission since 2017 for antitrust violations, without skipping a beat.

But why should we put America's superstar companies in PAIN? Certainly not to punish the platforms merely for being big or for being successful — a narrative the many voices on Big Tech's payroll like to push. The Big Tech platforms argue that they provide benefits to consumers and face rigorous competition. They say they protect users' privacy and that consumers prefer the companies' products and services over the offerings of competitors that depend on their platforms.
