It also depends how long they have to pay. The recent $18B settlement must be paid over 10 years. So that basically doesn’t matter to a company like Meta.

Interestingly enough, even when these nations differ in terms of their dominant religions, cultural factors, and histories, they unite in their mission to undermine democracy around the world.

This is captured perfectly in Anne Applebaum’s Autocracy Inc

Unprecedented!

“U.S. President Donald Trump had said in a social media post Sunday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to what he described as an “energy ceasefire” without offering specifics on terms.

In an interview with Axios, Zelenskyy said Trump’s post was the first he had heard of the deal“

🤦‍♂️

Seems like someone is desperate for good news to report.

Maybe a hotel development deal would change their minds.

Same here. I wish Canada had a company making something similar since I’d rather not support the US economy. Choose your poison, I guess.

Hopefully they aren’t given 10 years to pay it off like the recent $18B fine for harming children.

I can’t wait for the carbrain victim complex to conjure up complaints of being punished for speeding. In Ontario, there were drivers (publicly, in news articles) saying that they’re essentially too distracted while driving to keep track of the speed limit and their speed relative to it. This was their argument against speed cameras. Incredible.
