    I suppose they revealed this because they expect people will consider it unreasonable?

    Not me. I don’t have one bit of empathy for that company. I hope the entire thing burns to the ground, and everyone who chooses to work there loses their job. Fuck that entire organization.

    Fine. We’ll settle for life in prison for their top executives.

      And being the savings to the consumer in the form of lifetime prison expenses paid by taxes they never paid, along with an endless stream of appeals until they’re inevitably free? Genius. I wish the Axis thought of that. /s

    I’m always happy to see a psychopathic company like Meta get spanked, but how does a fine like that help any of the countless victims?

    If the money went to the victims, or was distributed among anyone who downloaded the Facebook app, etc. (even.if it’s only 17 cents), I could see it, but it all just goes to the government, where it will be squandered on Sociopathic Oligarchs.

    At least put those who made these deliberate, reprehensible decisions in prison.

      Measured using the P. Diddy scale? We’re over 9000.
