      Especially not for serious fucking things like this. A bit of money that gets lost in the system and not even admission of guilt is supposed to be justice?

      maybe the prosecutors decided that meta has more money and better lawyers than the actual fucking state AGs… maybe this was the best deal they could possibly get…

      maybe the issue isn’t the legal system, it’s the fact that these companies have become more powerful than the country itself…

      Zuck and Meta Investors.

      The fact that school pension systems, among others, are passively supporting this by refusing to divest is probably a bigger slap in society’s face than a single creep like Zuck abusing children for profit.

    And again a small tax over the insane profits they reaped on all this

    They knew what they were doing, they knew the harm, why aren’t the c suite in jail by now?
