      That’s $20 fine in average person’s money.

      Will make it back in 15 minutes of oil stock trading.

      Reminder: if the fine is not enough to stop the behavior in the future, it isn’t a large enough fine.

      Facebook executives knew..

      >The verdict came after roughly a day of deliberations following a six-week [trial](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/trial/) in which the state accused [Facebook](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/facebook/) and Instagram’s parent company of failing to protect minors from sexual abuse, online solicitation and [human trafficking](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/human-trafficking/).
      The state had sought the maximum $2.2 billion in damages, but the jury awarded a lesser amount of $375 million.
      The case, tried in a Santa Fe court, is among the first involving social media platforms and child safety to produce a jury verdict.
      „The jury’s verdict is a historic victory for every child and family who has paid the price for Meta’s choice to put profits over kids‘ safety,“ said New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez, who brought the case.
      „**Meta executives knew their products harmed children,** disregarded warnings from their own employees, and lied to the public about what they knew,“ he added.

      No enough. These things should be a percentage of their value. To truly punish them make it hurt. 65% of their profits for x years would be better.

      >The jury found Meta violated the state’s Unfair Practices Act by misleading consumers about the safety of its products for children.

      Just 1 reason why a number of countries are banning social media for minors.

      >A second phase of proceedings is scheduled to begin May 4, when a judge will hear the state’s claim that Meta should be ordered to pay additional penalties and make specific changes to its platforms and company operations.

      Case isn’t over, and meta can still appeal it.

      That’s all??? A company valued at $1.5 trillion??? That was not even a parking violation amount. That’s .025% 🤦‍♂️

      Guarantee you they made far more than that with their practices.

      Cost of doing business.

      That’s not enough… it should be a large % of their revenue to make it actually hurt.

      These people blew $80bn on a shitty VR world. $375m is a parking fine at best
