    The only way to outlaw Meta’s dangerous and egregious behavior is to pass legislation

    Or we could just exercise existing legislation? Like perjury?

      All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although § 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of several federal sex offenses. The same five-year maximum penalty attends the separate crime of conspiracy to commit any of the four substantive offenses.

      Even 1 year in jail should be a good enough incentive, if only he could not buy his way out.
