If corporations make more money from the infraction than the fine, they will always choose the infraction.

Regulations and regulators need to make fines an actual deterrent.

@Em0nM4stodonEm My favorite way to fine would be "percentage of global turnover" during the period covered by the infraction. Say the company put in a year conning unsuspecting customers out of extra money. So the fine would be money-taken-from-customers + some percentage of your total sales for that year. The money-taken-from-customers would be returned to customers.
