A true acolyte of the Church of Too Big To Fail speaks up...

That's not fair at all. I am not saying anything about too big to fail. My whole point is that most of the people who get punished by a corporate death penalty don't deserve it. And if you want to go around imposing that penalty then some things need to be structurally different to avoid all the collateral damage. By all means, punish Zuckerberg and the executives who built the monster. Civil forfeiture is ok with me…

Meta’s negative qualities have been obvious for a decade or more at this point. If you’ve joined them as an employee or invested in them then you knew what you were getting into.

I have no love for Meta, but what about tiktok and youtube? What social media doesn't attempt to keep its users engaged?

Why shouldn’t the Meta precedent also apply to them afterwards?

Meta helps gov w surveillance, so they won't be hit w a $1.4T damage. I imagine a few mil could come out of this tho.

Facebook was originally an NSA project called Lifelog but the NSA couldn't figure out how to make people sign up

Which is kind of odd

Would they have done that to the Winklevosses' ConnectU? Was ConnectU purely a 'dating site'? As far as I know it was them who onboarded it using college connections
