What's the use case for plastic that degrades? I mean we humans know when we're done with it, but surely it's going to interact with environmental triggers. I understand the benefit of not having plastic in landfills and not

You have to go to the county courthouse to sue. Even if meta lost all of them they’d be fine because only a negligible percentage of their users can avail themselves of this process. In fact they can save money by not even showing up, and
