You're right, the amount is relatively trivial.

But I was thinking in the context of the news that Meta's stock is plunging.

True but they also made $4.4 billion net so they can afford the $25 million fine.

facebook can afford this. but the rest of us can't. this chills speech, and chilled speech ruins elections. i suspect facebook is right that this is unconstitutional.

i was able to get this story posted at electionlawblog.org, so the country's election law experts will see it, so thanks OP for posting it.
