While the percentages match it's not the same. If you made $200billion and got fined $16.6billion would you miss it the same as somene making $75k who got fined $5k? But I see what your saying. I was just making up numbers. My point being it's a non-punishment.

well closer to 10 but eh

So the settlement goes to the states. And the people?

Shameful it’s only the US. What about the rest of the world #meta

To paraphrase John Rogers, a fine is just a business expense. And this fine isn't even a year's PROFIT for Meta. Start putting executives in jail for harming people.

I think that if your company is above a certain size you shouldn’t be allowed to settle. That would solve a lot of “slap on the wrist” moments such as this.

Get ready for your $0.37 check, it’s on the parents now to deal with their kids social media addiction.

Why are we letting it continue then? Shut he whole thing down. This is some dystopian level evil shit that fines won't fix.

In other words META DID IT ON PURPOSE & they know they would lose!

An entire year's profits? Finally, an amount they'll actually notice.

"if the cost of the recall is more than the cost of the lawsuit(s), we don't do one." -fight club, paraphrased sorry, i meant, "first rule of fight club is..."

Came here to say the same. It’s a slap on the wrist. It should be hundreds of billions with a huge fine if he doesn’t prove he’s made the changes. 😤🖕😽

Yikes. Imagine admitting to causing kids to kill themselves and not being decimated into oblivion. They'll probably make money from this somehow. Fuck capital.

This is could be first step to controlling free speech.

META ADMITS NOTHING AND PAYS-OFF STATES TO STOP. States to use settlement funds like they did with the tobacco settlement whereby very little helped children and most was funneled into other unrelated projects.

It’s a great achievement, but only a drop in the bucket of saving democracy for our future. And where future generations still have the blessings we have enjoyed as well as a livable world to enjoy them in.

Here's one from back in 2017: arstechnica.com/information-...

What about Tiktok? Most young people use it relentlessly. Just a question

Preferably into 50+ pieces (so DC & PR can get some too)
