Partly agree. The money is indirectly used again for the benefit of the community. Are you 1 of the 443,000 Brazilians (or other nationality that is not mentioned here), then you are free to sue Facebook yourself. This fine will help you to strengthen your position.
What you are saying now is that (only a very limited part of the) money that is collected by violating user privacy can be used for the community. In short, the government receives money received by users to violate their privacy, which they will use to invest in the community. The money is therefore still earned by privacy violation.
No, the money (and a larger amount as well) must go to the victims, namely the users. Then both Facebook and the government do not earn money by violating privacy.
Even more, whether it is free or not to sue Facebook: the government should not have sued Facebook at all, because the money (or compensation) does not belong to them at all. It is up to the victims, and they now get nothing, because they have to share it for the ‘community’. So it had only been correct that the government had divided the fines among the victims. Because all other Brazilians ‘earn’ (through the community) now also cap the victims by privacy violation.
