    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?
