- tptacek 1y agoOh, yeah, no, I totally get why a serious lawsuit against Facebook execs would be on-topic for HN! I'm more asking, doesn't Facebook see a lawsuit like this like once a quarter?
- v5v3 1y agoDoes Meta break a new law every quarter? This suit is regarding a privacy order they failed to meet and the investors claim this led to the Cambridge Analytics affair. Not a once a quarter repeat event.
- tptacek 1y agoIf by "break a law" you mean "commit an unlawful act", including colorably reneging on contracts or committing torts as well as violating regulations and committing crimes, then yes, I think every major corporation in America does thats several times a quarter.
- marshray 1y agoSorry, my personal information bubble is not calibrated to maintain a half-way-objective estimate on that. Perhaps if we hang around here looking sad someone else will research the answer and tell us?
