Making them stop is the extent of what society allows as punishment for companies doing something an individual would go to jail for.

And by making them stop you mean roughly this...?

Society in general worldwide.

Including but not limited to India.

Society in general worldwide.

What countries have prosecuted anyone for being in the Epstein files?
Has the Catholic church or any mainstream religion suffered any consequences for decades of horrible behavior?
What countries, except for a few in east Asia, hold CEOs and other people in leadership positions accountable for mass harm to anyone other than the wealthy and powerful?
Bernie Madoff is famous for being punished for running a pyramid scheme, but that was only because he ripped off the wealthy. Same with Enron, they screwed over people in power.
Has any country punished any of the people in positions of power for all the child porn their image generators pumped out?

Let me know where people are actually being held legally accountable on a regular basis.

Our law says explicitly jail no less than 2 years and the officials are not allowed to put the case down early.

For the 200 other countries, you do your googeling yourself.

In the USA, it's already that bad. Or worse.
