Glad to see they have to pay up but what was different about this compared to the similar case that Meta won the other day?
Meta has more money and is apparently immune from consequences?
No if you pay the president enough he will let you commit crimes against humanity.
I mean that's essentially the same thing I said just with more words.
Meta has money. Which makes them immune to consequences.
In this case, by way of bribes.
You didn't counter my statement. You just added to it.
It's not really a good thing though. $1.5bil will be a drop in the bucket for them. This is a settlement, which means it won't set any legal precedence.
