GDPR maximum fine is 4% of global turnover. Luckily for amazon it's capped otherwise they'd be on the hook for billions.
Christ, that type of penalty has no bearing of actual damages. They kept the data longer than another party thought was needed. The actual damage was minimal. They have a robust set of controls and are one of the better tech companies to work with in regards to child protection.
