- toldyouso2022 3y agoDefamation lawsuit could be more than a fine.
- 1f60c 3y agoWhat about the message is defamatory? I think it's scummy but not illegal.
- toldyouso2022 3y agoThey make it seems like the pc is becoming unprotected if firefox is installed. This is how I interpreted the message.
- ChatGTP 3y agoKind why I don't have any faith at all in the Google anti-trust case. They'll be ordered to pay a fine of 0.5% of their annual revenue or something.
- red_trumpet 3y agoWouldn't they also be ordered to change their behavior?
- mtsr 3y agoAnd the penalty for non-compliance, another 0.5% fine? So long as repercussions aren’t more serious (see EU fines) or more personal (hold C-suite personally responsible for contempt of court or similar), nothing will change.
- snoman 3y agoThreatening to nationalize, restructure, and then sell the company for cheap to someone that agrees to operate it within the bounds of the law… that might have some serious teeth. It’ll never happen though.
- varispeed 3y agoThey should be ordered to pay over 45% of their annual revenue. They think charging business 30% of their revenue is completely acceptable, so a fine must be something above that number. Any fine on revenue below 30% is just a cost of doing business.
- mcv 3y agoThey should be ordered to pay 45% of the company. Hand over the shares. If shareholders lose ownership, then they'll start to pay attention to how the company is run.
