Comment on Google to Pay Feds $500 Million Fine for Rogue Pharma Ads

Comments

$500 Million seems utterly excessive to me. Usually they do consent agreements and only if the party violates it do they go after fines.

Indeed. It seems very extortionist to me! How is this every going to stop online pharmacies serving (what seems to be the legitimate) needs of consumers?

Given that it against the law to not give money to the health insurance industry, it should not be surprising that it is also against the law to not give money to the pharmaceutical industry.

Something's got to offset the tax cuts.
