      You sound suspiciously edible Ricky Rigatoni. Was your neighbour named something like Ronny Ramen or similar?

      Every single state and territory should do the same, still wouldn’t be sufficient but it’d be a nice start.

      $Mn = Monopoly Dollars

      In a twist, Meta couldn’t immediately produce the funds, because its AI had destroyed every copy in its possession after being used for training data.

    No where near enough to be a punishment given how much they made since inception doing this. So much for the “for the children!” people doing anything useful.

      Also… i hate that the media keeps not noting that the things that hurt children also hurt adults.

      Infinite scroll, sounds, alerts, alforithmic manipulation is all happening to adults as well. We expect adults to self regulate, but they dont. Its destroying society. But we only seem to care about the children?

      There are cases of mass human pysocologial tests being eun in real time by meta. They dont deserve a fine. They deserve prison time.

      Exactly, these numbers always sound impressive but 10 years and 20 appeals later they haven’t paid 5% of the original fine…

    If you’re rich enough every consequence is just an admission fee. Rinse and repeat.
