They got away with it >

It was likely already in the budget from the beginning! Just business expenses. >

I think to truly understand how little they were fined, we should do a skit on the sub Reddit DataIsBeautiful showing how much an average person in America is charged for common things like speeding tickets and similar things, as a % of their yearly earnings. >

I suppose it's better than nothing, but Meta's market cap is 310$Billion, so it could pay that fine one hundred times over and still be worth well over 200$Billion—which would still make it more valuable than Shell, McDonalds, Toyota, or Nike.
Until these companies have t pay fines that would make every single member of their C-suite sit down and cry for days, these sorts of things are just going to be the cost of doing business. (Specifically, the business of mishandling private user data.) >

Yup, this is what’s called a slap on the wrist. >

Cost of doing business. >

Well under budget projections even! >

Nowhere near enough. The story behind that is so fucked up. Like the government dosing unaware people with acid in the 60's level fucked up. >

Meta must be furious with their child Facebook. >
