Hydrangea 8,256 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Their executives should receive a settlement from their necks into a basket Looking down at my $t loser misery 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmToton 281 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 From a potential $1.4 trillion exposure to a $16.68 billion settlement, Zuck knows how to haggle. 😏 In the end, I think accepting the settlement was beneficial. Going to trial and losing could have exposed Meta to a liability potentially comparable to its entire market capitalization. Very demure, very mindful, very beneficial for the plaintiffs. 💅 Now they can start putting some money aside for the next wave of lawsuits, this time concerning the Meta Glasses. 😎 EAT THE RICH 🍽️ Surrogacy is human trafficking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 25,143 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) So basically the restrictions we got here in the UK earlier this year? I thought they wanted to remove algorithms and infinite scrolling? That would’ve changed social media for the better. Those are the actual addictive elements not the unrestricted access or content.
