I mean.. there's simply no repercussions for these companies, and only rivers of money on the other side. The law is laughably inept at keeping them in check. The titans of Surveillance Capitalism don't need to obey laws. CFOs line-item-ing provisional legal settlement fees as (minor) COGS. And us digital serfs, we simply have no rights. Dumb f*cks, indeed.

- pbiggar 1y agoMeta should never have used them. Deeply unethical behaviour
- NickC25 1y agoYour mistake was expecting ethical behavior from Mark Zuckerberg.
- Etheryte 1y agoBuying stolen goods does not mean they're yours because the seller never had any ownership to begin with. The same applies here, just because there's an extra step in the middle doesn't mean that you have any rights to the data.
- Ekaros 1y agoSome percent of their revenue as fine per case. Only way to scare these companies at this point.
- j33zusjuice 1y agoA significant portion, too, not fractions of a percent. Frankly, I want the fines to bankrupt them. That’s the point. I want their behavior to be punished appropriately. Killing the company is an appropriate response, imo: FB/Meta is a scourge on society.
- potato3732842 1y agoThe line between big business and the state is blurry and the state wants to advance big business as a means to advance itself. Once you understand this everything makes sense, or as much "sense" as it can.
