It should be 100k per user per day. Otherwise it’s just a rounding error for them. I can also garantee that no user on Facebook is generating 100k in ad revenue in a single day. Let alone that much in a year.

Came to say the same, this is just a cost of doing business for Meta.

That’s like fining a person 0.01 per day for speeding. The company sees it as a limited time only discount and invitation to do it a TON right now and get people accustomed to it, before the people who don’t like it start complaining louder. From Facebooks perspective its a black Friday sale on Norwegian data.

100k a day is not even worth looking at for them.

100k a day for operating in a country of 5 million people. The question isn’t “how much does this affect their global earnings?”, it’s “is it worth paying 100k a day to run personalized ads in a country with a population of Minnesota?”

Maybe but 100k a day is not noteworthy for a country like Norway either.

It’s not, but 36.5 mill a year, if spent on one or two projects that aren’t otherwise receiving much funding, can still make a significant change in something.
