This is where it becomes subjective. For some,Meta being "punished adequately" would mean the complete liquidation of the company and charges for executives in front of the International Criminal Court in the Hague for crimes against humanity.

A $25 billion award would be 41% of Meta's annual profit. That is substantial!
