    And once again, Meta is torrenting stuff to train their AI. what is $350M to meta? that’s just cost of doing business. Fine them based on a percentage of their profits, not a fixed amount.

      Fine Meta, sure, but also fine everyone who suggested it, did it, supported it, or knew about it. People need to be held personally responsible for illegal actions they do when acting on behalf of a company. Like all the people who knew about issues with the Boeing planes. Also, fines should be based off earnings, not just profits. If you stole something from me, sold it for 1 million and then paid yourself 999k as a sellers fee, why should I get just a percentage of the remainder? I should get all of what you earned and then some to make up for the fact I was stolen from. I don’t care that you already spent the 999k. It’s mine and belongs to me. Maybe then investors would care more about the scruples of the companies they are flooding with cash.

      You understand the design. It was deliberate.

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

      There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
