Why aren't we (society) fining Meta et cetera for collaborating in scams again? Or at least having the fines actually be equal to the money they're earning so the fines aren't just cost of business?

Because there is no "we". It's currently just who has the money and they all seem to be pal somehow.

Forget fines, they should be liable for any losses incurred by people scammed.
