All their fines are merely a cost of doing business, and they won't change their ways until the fines hurt.

This is so true. When you have a billion users, you can literally lose hundreds of millions of users and it wouldn't make a dent. The only way is to get the government involved and regulate this and just keep hammering them with massive fines that really make a dent in their bottom line.

The filter you want is named 'uBlock Origin' :)

No, it's the "local law enforcement struggles to handle largely anonymous international crimes" note. I'm not arguing anything; I'm just describing the reality.
