And thats is all this is, it isnt for war profiteering it is for poor practices, sure it could be more but people really lose sight of things when it comes to fining these companies.
The fines for targetting children with damaging content or promoting harmful posts should be way more than this and than they are but this isnt an action they directly profitted from it was a lazy and harmful missing of the required mark.
Im not this invested in defending meta but 102 million is a lot for one country to fine one company. Ireland fined the company nearly 1% of their global net for one issue.
Is this German or US law because where I am it would be a high bar to be fired for anything other than downsizing while out on sick leave.
Also the doctors note tells the company what they need to know. If they have doubts they can contact the doctor and verify the note.
Also a lot of decent jobs will have extended sick leave, I have been out for a few months at a time and had company pay the entire time. They subtract whatever is paid in sick pay but you have your entire pay.
