If they can get 17 billion our of this, why not bring it to an actual verdict? Create some fucking precedence if you actually want to help children?
Paid to states over ten years.
Oh so meta is paying loose change found in the couch.
Hopefully this stops malicious ads. How the fuck does a multi billion dollar company allow malicious links? I dont know why they're even allowed to operate.
They don't curate them, and even if they did the malicious ones probably are the most profitable.
It shouldn't be legal to just publish whatever because it's too much trouble to curate the content. If it's too much time/expense then stop accepting new content until you figure it out.
Of course this won't. They're paying a pittance of a settlement spread out over a decade which represents a tiny fraction of what they earned from it.
This is just a fee, not a punishment.
And their actions will change how in the future?
