> Google was hit with a fee of $57 million for not making it clear to users how they were harvesting data from the Google search engine, YouTube and Google Maps for personalized ads. This fine only amounts to .04% of Google’s yearly revenue.

Not only does this not cover Google's main offense (tracking of users and non-users with Google Analytics even on non-Google properties) but the fine is so minimal that it's basically the cost of doing business.

I wish people would stop bringing this one up.
