      You can’t fine him an amount he’d care about. Beyond a certain amount of wealth, fines are no longer a punishment or a disincentive.

        In many cases, I would agree, but the article says

        If Twitter does not respond, it faces fines of $687,000 a day.

        We’re not talking about a single payment for a fixed amount. I think he’d actually care about this. It would add up fast if he tried to ignore it.

        In some places, fines are based on income or wealth. Like speeding tickets in Finland. So hopefully it’ll happen and he will feel it.

    1. Thanks for posting a non-paywall version.
    2. Wtf, Twitter’s standard automated reply to press queries is a poo emoji now?
