I don't understand. McDonald's and other companies try to make their products as addictive as possible, and apparently that is OK.

Phones aren't free. Data plans aren't free. There must have been parents in the loop somewhere.

A lot of times you don't hear the aftermath of a story. I'm guessing this will be appealed and the final fine will be much smaller.
