What a shame of lack of accountability. The board encouraged it.

Justice is dead in America and the 1% strangled it to death in front of us all while we were busy doomscrolling TikTok and Instagram.

Trump would not have been president in 2016 if it wasn’t for this.

Paying for not talking is just outrageous.
He should pay and he should talk.

> “Facebook has successfully remade the ‘Cambridge Analytica’ scandal about a few bad actors rather than an unravelling of its entire business model of surveillance capitalism and the reciprocal, unbridled sharing of personal data,” Kint said. “That reckoning is now left unresolved.”
At this point, the settlement cost is just the price to operate a machine that generates so much money by exploiting all of us.

Wait until rich people rig courts with AI admissible video/photo evidence! That’s coming for sure

i love how if you’re rich enough you can commit crimes, kick it down the road for over a decade, and then settle when someone you know gains office

And THIS is how long it takes for the justice system to get around to dealing with things.
Crime is fast. Justice is slow.

Palantir and all governments, foreign and domestic, have the data now. Your threat level is scored.

This scandal has brought our society so much lower. Actively aiming propaganda at people who for good reason were mostly non-political, kept at bay with their conspiracy bullshit, has let ignorant, gullible fools be a part of our decision making.Â
PS. Cambridge Analytica interfered in the elections of +30 countries

It seems like nobody read the article. Meta was fined 5B USD 6 years ago for the Cambridge analytica scandal. Some shareholders thought Zuckerberg and other directors should be held personally liable for that. They used the directors personally and right when the lawsuit was to begin, they decided to settle for 8B USD by paying it from their personal money.Â

Cambridge Analytica was a decade ago. It took too long.

This is such a laughable excuse for justice. No wonders these fucks do whatever they please when there is a chance they might pay some of their endless billions almost a decade later. Great.

Zuckerberg will be happy with this result. He elected Trump, and it only ended up costing him less than $10b – which he didn’t have to pay for years.
In contrast, Elon Musk had to spend $45b in order to elect Trump the second time.

Interesting how Steve Bannon was all over Cambridge Analytica and here again he is all mixed up with Epstein as well.

Here’s to hoping he gets a pardon, and loses his fifth amendment protections in the process.
Cambridge Analytica did more to destabilize democracy across the globe than fifty Trumps.

Helps destroy democracy and puts world on shitty timeline.
Pays a fine that’s less that what he should be paying in tax.
