You sound suspiciously edible Ricky Rigatoni. Was your neighbour named something like Ronny Ramen or similar?

Every single state and territory should do the same, still wouldn't be sufficient but it'd be a nice start.
Fining people 3¢ to eat their neighbors?
I mean, its better than nothing, right?
Cheaper than beef.
What's the exchange rate for USD and Minnesota dollars?
$Mn = Monopoly Dollars
In a twist, Meta couldn't immediately produce the funds, because its AI had destroyed every copy in its possession after being used for training data.
Cost of doing business, easy write off.
No where near enough to be a punishment given how much they made since inception doing this. So much for the "for the children!" people doing anything useful.
Also.. i hate that the media keeps not noting that the things that hurt children also hurt adults.
Infinite scroll, sounds, alerts, alforithmic manipulation is all happening to adults as well. We expect adults to self regulate, but they dont. Its destroying society. But we only seem to care about the children?

If you’re rich enough every consequence is just an admission fee. Rinse and repeat.
Those are rookie numbers! You got to Pump those numbers up! It should be $565 billion dollar fine
and let me guess... Meta will find some way to not pay the fine.
Exactly, these numbers always sound impressive but 10 years and 20 appeals later they haven't paid 5% of the original fine...
That amount is missing quite a few zeros
