No, they are just getting a slap on the wrist.
It just sounds like a lot because we're poor peasants who think a thousand dollars is a life changing amount of money.
To company like google, 4 billion dollars is pocket change. a small evil tax compared to what they've made doing the evil.
It'd be like you setting up an illegal hotdog stand, making 2000 dollars selling hotdogs all day, then the government coming by and fining you 20 bucks for it, but not before getting a free hotdog with a wink wink nudge nudge.
