Huh, first time I’ve heard a reasonably sized fine
Hopefully they aren’t given 10 years to pay it off like the recent $18B fine for harming children.
“Could” is doing the heavy lifting.
Yeah, it’s just what’s legally possible and definitely won’t happen
I assume they will settle for 100mil and a promise to not do it again.
100mil over 10 years and stop paying after 1 year.
*could
won’t
The federal government has interceded and the new penalty is $1.9 million.
That’ll show them!
please don’t settle
The could, and probably should, but they won’t.
People always upvote some form of this comment on every post that contains potential good news. Sometimes y’all need to keep your pessimism to your fucking self. It’s exhausting.
Sadly this is not pessimism but just realism. You are free to block me if that’s too uncomfortable or annoying
No, commenting “it won’t happen” on every single fucking post is pessimism. Sometimes good things happen.
commenting “it won’t happen” on every single fucking post
But I don’t do that, I can’t be blamed for actions of others
If it’s not you it’s someone else, and it’s still pessimism. And people still upvote it, because everything is bad, and all good news is actually bad news.
If you want to stick your head in the sand and hum happy tunes to yourself, give’r. We’ll be up here living in reality where, in fact, most news is bad news for the poor in America. Sorry?
You’re misrepresenting reality. This article is good news, period. A jury decided Meta was at fault, and this is good regardless of your negative framing or how much they end up having to pay.
Seize their data centers in the state.
Of which they will pay $10 in Chuck E Cheese tokens
Is there a cap?
Today: Zuckerberg whispers in Trump’s ear. Tomorrow: Trump announces trade tariffs on Mexico and Venezuela.
Today: Zuckerberg whispers in Trump’s ear. Tomorrow: Trump announces trade tariffs on (New)Mexico and (says it’s because Trump declared they’re now part of)Venezuela.
LOL tell me you don’t live in the US without telling me
And they could even pay that off in 200 easy instalments!
That’s why all these tech guys are licking trump’s cankle holders. Like calls to like.
If the media mafia can argue like this, so can Mexico.
