I completely understand Meta finding profitable ways to skirt around the law - even breaking it subtly at times. But I'm very surprised the apparent offsenses are so large and so obvious. I was expecting them do do more subtle things like 'accidentally' asking users their cookie preference every time they use the site till they hit accept, and then never asking them ever again. When investigated, they can easily say 'oh, it was a bug because the fact the user rejected cookies was itself stored in a cookie'.

> But I'm very surprised the apparent offsenses are so large and so obvious. As long as it continues to be more profitable to go big when they break the law that's what facebook will do. Same as any other company. No need for facebook to even try to hide it because the fines/slaps on the wrist just don't matter. Try locking up CEOs or shareholders and watch how quickly they start following the law.
