💯 Big tech companies think they’re above the law.

Thus far, they’d basically be right. Any fines are simply chocked up to “cost of doing business” expenses and since no one wants to either make solid laws against this stuff OR hold them accountable for current ones, they’ll just keep at it.

If a law has a fine, it was created to deter poor people.

No, they are the system, and the system is held together by the law.
