Meta’s privacy issues are a systemic problem, not just a single scandal. The focus should be on long, term user trust , fines won't fix the underlying culture of exploitation. Real change demands accountability at every level.

It's a Drop in the ocean when you take into account how much money Meta makes from allowing Scam and catfishing sites to advertise across its media platforms,Which is now allowed because Musk Stripped the Dept that used to safeguard the ppl against Scammers.

After USAID dried up, democrats had to find another way to fill their coffers by suing AI and social media in this race to control what young people see and hear.

Headline number, not a check. New Mexico asked for 35 to 40 billion, the judge landed at 25, and Meta already told the court a number like that is unconstitutional. This goes to appeal before a dollar moves. The jury's 43 million violations are harder to argue down.

Cambridge Analytica broke in 2018 and the penalty lands eight years later. The fine doesn't pull anyone's data back, so if you haven't looked at which old apps still have Facebook access, that list is usually longer than people expect.

25 billion is wild considering they already paid 725 million in the settlement

Isn't that called "Treason"...? You can't buy your way out of a "war crime" if it is fact confirmed to be spying on the people's privacy...

So the fine was $25B, but the app is still free. That means we cost them zero dollars. We are the actual product.

$25 billion and the privacy settings still take four taps to find.

Trust is earned, not bought. Big tech companies must be held accountable for protecting our privacy. ⚖️

How is this related to Cambridge Analytica's role in the Brexit vote? @BBCNews @SkyNews @guardiannews

Did the judge also order the $25 billion go directly to Democrat campaign accounts? 🙄

I will not mention the names of Meta support employees; the infographic speaks for itself. Their only concern is the evaluation rating and leaking ticket numbers 1705, and everything is fully documented. @finkd @andymstone @MetaforDevs @FTC @tomalison @instagram

250亿美金，比欧盟历届GDPR罚款总和还狠——隐私官司第一次罚出市值级数字。Meta刚发无投票权新股融资AI，转头就挨这刀，钱还没烧就先补窟窿。

That's a massive fine for privacy violations—will this change how tech giants handle our data?

25 billion is such a huge fine. This is a wake-up call for big tech companies that ignore user privacy.
