Meta hit with its BIGGEST FINE EVER β†’ A fine bigger than some countries GDP! 🀯 A judge in New Mexico has ordered Zuck's Meta to pay $25 BILLION after a trial found it had lied to the public about how user data was handled. This is very positive news, and it's great to see that New Mexico is holding Big Tech accountable. πŸ’ͺπŸ‘

  • @Tutanota@mastodon.social Another massive fine. How is Meta still allowed to operate? How corrupt is the Board to continue to allow the same management?

    @Tutanota@mastodon.social accountable? Getting fined less than 4 months operating income for basically a long major fraud? Ordinary people are jailed for less!

    @Tutanota@mastodon.social This fine is what percentage of their yearly revenue or net-worth? Fines on #bigCorps should always be quoted as a percentage. financial numbers only mean something as a percentage.

    @Tutanota@mastodon.social Hopefully over time Meta will be just a local US company and other countries and regions will finally block and get ride of this thing.

    @Tutanota@mastodon.social Zuckerberg's Meta needs more investigations into its election-meddling-for-hire operations.

  • @Tutanota@mastodon.social The fine could have been over $200B. Facebook is a $1.77 trillion corporation that believes itself to be post government. The fine was 10% of what it should have been. And Zuck is fighting it. I find it all disappointing.

    @Tutanota@mastodon.social this is pretty exciting, ive been pushing anti meta stuff on instagram for weeks now but Instagram is also terrible at showing anything you actually want to see, so to see THIS makes me really happy 😊

  • @Tutanota@mastodon.social The extent of their crimes and has everything to do with the size of the company and the nature of commercial social media. The best thing that could happen to the world is to pull the plug on this kind of company in fact all of them and dictate that social networks work on a non-commercial principal.
