I despise meta and the fact they're not being punished for this.

He didn't just download stuff, he installed a server on their network to do it. A bit different.

His punishment was still beyond the pale.

He installed a server on facebook’s network?

On a university network.

I remember the story from years ago. This sounds about right. Other commenter made it sound like he installed the server on meta’s network (which would have still just been Facebook at the time.)
