The broader Facebook userbase, likely including the lawyers. This was years of work for many lawyers.
The real issue here is that 725 mil isn’t enough of a punishment for how massive Meta is. They net more than that in a month.
No company on earth would just write off $725M. These are the sort of people who drop a business card in a fishbowl at a restaurant for a “contest” so that their lunch is a tax deductible business expense.
If Facebook made $726M selling that data though they’d do it Sun-Sat. Hell if they made $725M and the math figured they had a 49.9% chance of getting caught they’d do the same again.
