Still not enough, if by a simple calculation they make 200,000$ of profits per day. The fine should be higher than the profit, period.

How much are they making in Norway? Why would global revenue/profit be relevant for a fine in Norway about Norwegian users?

Fine should be based on revenue, not the profit. If it's based on profit, then it is just cost of doing business.

Fines should be proportional to the damage they deter and compensate for. Fixing fine to revenues means tech companies can make a mockery of the law, as penalties must be ruinous for every other industry or laughably low for tech’s margins.

We're assuming that's profit and not revenue, two different things.
