Corporations are not sentient entities. They are contracts. They do not "do" things. They do not make decisions. Executives do.
When corporate activity breaks a law or harms people, it means the executives decided to do that.
When a corporation has been fined for something, what you are witnessing is the executives being let off the hook for what they did. Perhaps the prosecutor/regulator wants to keep get big money from corporations after leaving government.
This is why the Citizens United ruling needs to die.
@SpaceLifeForm the CU ruling emphasized that it was about empowering actual humans to express themselves, not empowering corporations as if they were human.
Kennedy wrote at length about that in the ruling, though points like this are so frequently misreported/misunderstood.
