@arstechnica Oops, you did a stupid - that should read "despite losing child abuse lawsuits Meta faces no consequences, as the fines represent a miniscule fraction of the company's massive profits from the self-same activities & no member of management or ownership is held responsible"...
@jwcph @arstechnica But another state issued a $375 million fine, and the door is now open. If they could prove this, then how many kids use these apps?
