Is the word "slams" appropriate in this context?
This is not fucking WWE hell in a cell, this is them fining them for breaking the law.
A slam would be the "value of the company", not a small percentage of the money they made off of breaking the law.
You can fine Amazon $130 million.
To "slam" Amazon you got to hit them with 130 billion dollars

Slam, blast, etc. It’s gotten REALLY old and stupid. It also means nothing. “Slam” in this context is at least something tangible. “Slam” in another context could be a critical post on Twitter.

I have a general policy to not read any article with “slam” in the headline.
