https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cql75dn07n2o Meta fined $375m for allowing abuse to children.

It's good news they got caught but when you consider that they made $548m dollars A DAY in 2025 then you realise that they just don't care about these judgments. They will carry on and get away with it 😒
