    Would love it if a list of those targeted, or whose accounts were mostly affected by it was released. Hopefully that would seriously fuck him and meta up. But I doubt it.

    In fact, they could use some or all of the $8bn to help get those accounts names releases and inform the holders.

    The way things are going, the $8bn isn’t going be used for extra protection on our privacy online, or mental health affected by it.

      The take away is that it isn’t $8bn. It’s only $190M, and even if it had been $8bn it would have only been a slap on the wrist. At $190M it’s the equivalent of a fancy meal out for two for Zuck. Not even a slap on the wrist.

        Oh wow. I read that way wrong. I read it as though he was paying $190m to avoid a lengthier and more costly court case with a possibly larger fine. Fuck… How did he get away with only paying that? That’s insane.

        Anyway, it’s only shareholders that were suing him. For some reason that story hasn’t been very big over here, and with Christmas etc. Has got buried. Are any governments taking any action?
