I'm somewhat amazed how many people on here seem to be happy that large tech companies are forced to pay giant fines to the government when their salaries are paid or propped up by the market created by these same companies.
I'm not saying FB has done no wrong, but is it really 100 times worse than Equifax, Wall Street banks and a host of other more malicious corporate offenders that got a slap on the wrist and a small 1-2 digit fine?
- temepsflk 7y ago2 wrong does not make one right. All these companies should be paying giant fines. FB's fine is not giant relative to their yearly revenue.
- alt_f4 7y agoHowever, you don't see banksters on bankernews complaining how small their fine is. They realize that'd be biting the hand that feeds them. From all the big industries, only tech seems to have an active desire to watch itself burn. If it is not yet obvious, taking large amounts of money from tech companies will impact everyone, including tech employees by forcing job cuts and lowering salaries. Doesn't matter if you work at Facebook.
