  1. MJA. Just a hypothetical question for you.

    How much money do you think conservatives will get who’ve been banned on Facebook and other platforms be entitled to after PRESIDENT Trump wins and lays the HAMMER DOWN on Big Tech, paving a way for a class action lawsuit. Think that’s a possible scenario?

    Fur! You’ll get your Twitter account reinstalled. I know it. Jack knows it. Everybody knows it. 🙃

  3. Oh, I’m sure they only did it in Indiana.
    fakebook data mines everything they can get access to. Even non-fakebook accounts. They pays the moneys and keeps the data. Good deal for them, what with the extent of their illegality of spying and snooping.
    Being fined is just a business expense for them, and an erosion of privacy for everyone else. EVERYONE.
    There’s no mention of what is to be done to what they admitted to illegally collecting. Or to all the other parties they have sold it to, or given access.
    Yeah- yippee. $400. Minus lawyers fees, they’ll probably just wind up with a few months of ad free fakebook or something.
    They don’t respect other person’s privacy or rights.
