Facebook settles with FTC, under privacy watch for 20 years
So the penalty for ongoing repeated lies and fraud is....<p>nothing.  Zero.  The FTC has investigated, and the settlement is zero money and zero penalties.  Not one dollar.  Whew!  I'm glad they were punished!  They won't do THAT again!<p>The U.S. is really in late-stage empire breakdown.  I don't think there is any significant enforcement of any laws whatsoever against companies and people that are reasonably well connected.  The only thing keeping the society from total breakdown is inertia.
