Wym? I think they’ve already said no to the USA quite a few times already.

They are already not worth your money or trust.

I think we need something like this for someone on death row or something, maybe.

Why, though? What makes the person occupying the position of president uniquely qualified to make a decision in cases like this? If you have a judicial system that has been found to apply the law fairly, yet can still have its rulings overturned on a whim, doesn’t that make a mockery of the system?

It feels like an equivalent of a boss saying, “I know you and your team did months of research to come to the decision that you did, but I’m going to go in a different direction anyway. Not because I did more research than you, just because I feel like I know better than all of you”.

Unless theres’ some kind of reason that I’ve overlooked.

Beyond the scope of this thread, I know, but the concept of president seems absurd to me. Especially the way it’s implemented in the USA.

It’ll be interesting to see if Australia lets apple make their own rules for how exactly they comply, like they did in the EU. If they do, this isn’t really a huge win.

You’re technically correct, but I still disagree with you on this. My reasoning is that I think the real story here is that meta has wormed its way out of being punished adequately, again.

No, I mean more like “Meta to pay just 10% of original fine” - So people get an idea of how their judiciary system really works.

the state was awarded $219.5 billion, but the penalty was ultimately reduced to $25 billion.

would have been a better headline, tbh

Russia tried, Cambridge Analitica did

I think this weird anti-self-checkout crowd is just young people who don’t remember the times before self-checkouts.

What crowd? As far as I can see, the article is talking about retailers who want to do this, not customers.

You would do too, if it happened to you

Is the joke here that you did not cry where the packet instructed you to cry?
