It’s just overwhelmingly EVIL. 🤬😣

(Meta) Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and X were used to recruit victims for Epstein’s Island. Shut them down. #trump_epstein_files #pedophile_trump #pedophile_prince_andrew #felon_trump #rapist_trump #pedophile_musk #pedophile_zuckerberg

US taxpayers will foot this bill. Wait and see.

This is a pittance within the scope of Meta’s wealth & future profits. It’s pocket change. Did they admit wrong doing? Are they going to make meaningful changes? Are they going to stop tracking kids for promotional business? Report sexual predators activities. Setup policies controlling ads to kids

Too easy for them. It should have been pursued. Meta will only riggle out of any responsibilities or penalties. Plus, what about the damage to adults? It's like crack cocaine to them/us too. If it was crack it would be illegal. To save ourselves from lies and propaganda we need to pull the plug.

Yet, that is chump change for them.

Agreed to settle for peanuts and promises.

So why settle, states?! Keep your collective boot on Meta/Zuck's necklace-wearing, pencil-neck?! Think what you really could've gotten.

THIS IS NOT REMOTELY ENOUGH TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DAMAGE HE HAS CAUSED TO THIS COUNTRY. AMERICANS NEED TO OWN UP TO BUYING INTO THE ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOURS THEY ARE DROWNING US IN... AND SAY NO. BUT SO MUCH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. ENOUGH.

It should be more.

Poor baby! Now the government should go after him for all the women and men they allow to be scammed on its platform that they keep telling me have not violated any community standards.

Just as we suspected, social media is toxic to young people. Thank god we won’t lift a finger to do anything about it. Zuck’s too rich and white. We’ll never force social media to change.

That sounds like a nice amount for an annual tax.

“Homely Destroyer of Humanity Loses Small Sum of Cash. “

So damning.

Supposedly they were trying to avoid having Zuck testify which would have not been a good look for META.

Capitulation so early … Only means they knew they would have lost way way more.

I’ll fly in to see my 70 year old parents and they will hang out and talk with me for about two days before they’re back on their devices. Conversations often turn to them describing posts or videos in their feed. Luckily, their algorithm has actually made them more liberal, so it could be worse.

We need a corporate death penalty. If they have equal rights they must face equal punishment.

What an entitled little POS he is. I’m sure it will be swept under the rug while he goes on destroying the lives of more children. He deserves prison along with Bezos & Musk. And NOT a country club prison.

And to stop light being cast on additional evil? That sucks.

Settlements should be disallowed. The practice has allowed too many malfeasants to get away relatively unpunished with their crimes - it reduces being sentenced for a crime to essentially just bribing with hush money...

Because $16+ billion is pocket change to billionaires.

Ok so that’s why this MF is establishing AI manifestos Mr. Please only take $16 billion

Imagine how much better the outcome would have been if the states suing had not settled.

Settling is a win for Meta. That figure is peanuts to them & I'm sure comes w/ a "not guilty" clause. Repeatedly corrupt corporations thrive and are never accountable. When the prosecution aka. victims, get blinded by and accept these large sums thrown at them by these defendants, it's not a win.

They should be taken all the way. No option to settle

Not enough!!!!

Just the cost of doing business.

Guessing this will spur numerous other law suits, as it has now been proven that mighty Meta can be beaten in court, and the fast settlement shows that Meta still has much to hide.

I filed a lawsuit against Facebook For Harrssment Falsely accusing me of violating the account rules Which was a lie I reported it To FTC and The FBI and The FCC A court date is set for October 1st 2026

Fuck that!! Take Meta to court! 19B is a drop in the bucket financially for them.

A month of profit spread over many years and only if others also pay. Stop posting like it is significant. It’s a slap on the wrist.

Sounds super guilty to me.

Not enough. Shut them down.

They did not want the deets aired in public. Like the tobacco companies the consumers will end up paying the fines through their data being monitized.

Clearly worth it to keep whatever it is out of a court transcript.

The main reasons for SUCKerberg to settle are to lower costs, save time, guarantee outcome (clearly he was uncertain he could win), privacy (details remain secret) and less stress. That is how Mark buys his peace of mind. No scruples, no morals, no values, no principles. No honor among thieves.

The more fundamental question is, whether digital community products, that have the means to alter cultural & societal change, remain in the private hands. Culture & society should be set by democratic processes (ie citizens) & not shareholders of one enterprise.

Zuck is a predator, he will never change. For goodness sakes keep your kids off of Meta products!

Good! Fuck you Zuckerberg and META.

I am not seeing where he pays in Europe for his crimes! Show me the money!

Inside Meta after the "settlement"....

Now sue for manipulating the elderly

They will pay that out of the petty cash tin. Hopefully, all the other impending lawsuits will go to protect the world’s children 🤞

Just EXACTLY like fuck ugly murdochs do.

He should have paid WAY MORE

If I was the prosecutor I would not have taken the deal. I would have said no less than 300 billion. And not 10 years, it is now. Prosecutors are fools. It appears they work for META.

They also, though, say it puts a significant burden on caregivers and unreliable age-assessment systems. www.wired.com/story/the-me...

If a company’s settlement could comfortably be paid out of the personal funds of the CEO without him having to sell a single super yacht, it’s not high enough.

He needs six security guards?

They knew that this trail was not going to make them look good. Lots of internal communications to be exposed.

This just saved them more than a trillion dollars in potential lost court cases. Of course they settled. This is not the win it is being trumpeted as.

New Mexico was the FIRST to SUE that A-HOLE. WE got ALMOST $1BILLION, ALONE, for OUR State!!! META MET New Mexico and LOST in a JURY COURTROOM!!!

What's $16.7M to a corporation worth trillions? Of course they settled -- the bad publicity alone cost them a lot more than that. I wonder why anybody bothers to visit Meta sites anymore? They're so passe.

Handwriting on the wall yet again.!????

Like all the robber barons currently raping our country, they know they are wrong, but don’t care as long as money will insulate them from consequences.

Not a lawyer but that doesn't scream innocent.

GREAT BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH😠😠😠😠👎👎👎👎

Not enough money.

Exactly! This isn't a win.

We should have asked for 10x that amount

LAWUSUITS…. More…. Facebook is trying to get the govt to go after competitors. Fuck that the govt should keep suing meta. They wanted to be the monopoly social media company. They responsible for our shit job market and enshitification of the third space Make. Them. Pay.

For a fraction of the $200 billion they could have lost. Abusing children is a feature of their business model.

It really sucks that a business has to pay big time for parental failure.

He’s got SO MUCH to hide that he parts ways with cherished billions to shut trial down.

bsky.app/profile/nome...

So wish they hadn't settled. We needed this trial play out and meta should pay 5 times this amount or more.

Meta knew damn well they were hurting kids, so they could make more money faster. They shouldn't be allowed to settle.

Facts there. Zukerborg

Damn, rough couple of months for online pugilist @andymstone.bsky.social. Maybe he tapped out.

$1.4 Trillion in estimated damages across 29 states. Settled for $16 Billion aka 0.12% of the estimated damages. It's good to be a corporation! Also, everyone should read "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams about the folks at the top of Meta. You'll probably puke.

Where does that money go?

why so little?

Just imagine it is willing to pay $16.7 billion how many other billion dollars do they have but they’re trying to protect? It seems $50 billion would be more appropriate. $1 billion to every state for education? Healthcare? Civics education? Sex trafficking protection?

That explains why all I see on my IG feed lately is single moms promoting how safe their daughters teen account is now 🤢

Settling is admission of guilt, schmuckerberg. A whole bunch of dead kids (and adults) because of his harmful product.

The prosecution should not settle I want all the data on record

Don’t settle! Keep going and expose Meta for its willful greediness and corruption. Bottom line: Meta hates being exposed!

Revenge is sweet, & reward, even sweeter. F/u suckerberg, & for disabling my acct 2-years ago next month!

So that's the price of children being victimized? Some kids were bullied to commit suicide... Good to know.

ask Zuck to apologize in Mandarin...👎

Those settlements always include the caveat by the defendent that they admit to no wrongdoing. It just means that they are going to push the envelope further again in the future. They will recommit.

You know the word settlement in legalese is just another way to say a slap on the wrist. He’s getting away with heavy criminal offenses just like every technocrat billionaire. They never suffer the consequences. It’s getting old. They’ve wronged so many, can’t wait to see their karma.

I guess we now have a price tag for destroying a generation…

Isn’t this to be paid over 10 years? That’s pretty shit.

A way to hide their secrets from the public so we don’t realize just how atrocious their targeting and manipulation actions are?

In other words: GUILTY as charged in the indictment. Meta and Zuck suck.

The new features should be for everyone not just teens. 2 hour social media limit, no nighttime posting and no notifications would be good for society at large.
