A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Do the rich live by the same rules as us? Trump is a political figure and has more enemies so it's a bit different.
Any law with fines as a punishment is a law only the poor have to abide by, at the very least. A lot of laws which are explicitly meant to target wealthy entities like corporations or billionaires have their fines set comically low. Think car manufacturers regularly calculating that it's cheaper to pay fines than it is to recall thousands of cars with deadly manufacturing faults.
