MODERATORS
From the article:
“The jury found Meta liable for $4.2 million in damages and Google for $1.8 million, small amounts for two of the world's most valuable companies with annual capital spending over $100 billion each.”
They are also going to appeal. And even if that doesn’t go their way, even if it sets precedent, even if other people bring suits against them…this is peanuts for them. Are they going to stop being predatory of their own volition? No. We need actual legislation and regulations. Not internet id bullshit either.
