Standard PSA: Cambridge Analytica electing Trump is not a true story. Cambridge Analytica absolutely broke Facebook's terms of service with its personality quiz scheme but it did not affect the 2016 election.I'm an advertiser who has managed hundreds of millions of dollars for small startups and big corporations, brands, as well as a few small…

The multi-state settlement was a huge loss for Meta.You are focusing on the money, which is not the important part. The important part is that the settlement just settled that one lawsuit. There are many thousands of individual lawsuits over many of the same issues, mostly by local governments (school districts).Almost all the work the nearly 50…

> Meta agreed in August to pay up to $18 billion to settle the multistate lawsuit surrounding child safety issues. Buried in the 130-page settlement was an agreement to release Meta from future liability related to the Cambridge Analytica privacy breach, making New Mexico the only state to pursue a case. Florida was the only other state that did…

"A jury in Santa Fe, New Mexico, found on Friday that Meta Platforms misled the state's residents in a case arising from allegations that a political consulting firm involved in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign obtained data from millions of Facebook users without their consent."

...what's inconvenient about it? The less "regulation" in dem scary quotes there is, the easier it is for companies to shirk them (and cheaper, too). The only actual argument there can be is that that $18 bn fine will have to ultimately come out of the pockets of the Meta's customers, and perhaps that'll force Meta to adopt even uglier business…

The key to this story is in the word "liable." That's lawyer-speak for a civil, not criminal, legal judgment. The loser must pay money, no one goes to jail, and Meta has so much money that the judgment means nothing.Meta already pays billions to gain access to people's personal data. This is just another business expense, a line item on a balance…

How is this:> people who want more "regulation"Same as this:> who believe states with high levels of paper regulationI _do_ want real regulations with teeth against shitty companies like Meta. Just because California has done a performative take doesn't make expecting more controls on these scumbags a wrong thing to expect. Bad execution doesn't…

> This is an inconvenient reminder for people who want more "regulation"Some people say they want more “food,” but did you know that consuming calories can lead to obesity?! The existence of fat people is an inconvenient reminder for people who claim to be “malnourished” or “wasting away.”

I think the Cambridge Analytica scandal was a big deal, and even used it to reinforce and reprioritize some privacy-focused initiatives at a past job. But I heard some credible voices on social media say that the actual impact was negligible. Anyone know what they mean? Maybe that has some bearing here?

How about real fines?So far all these fines have been "ugh that's one day of net profits only", be it at Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook - you name it. Are there kickbacks involved to keep the fines at a minimum?

We'll probably see similar decisions on misbehavings of major LLM companies ~2036, when it won't matter anymore.

10-years old ago thing? Yeah, so fast. And what exactly will the settlement money go to?
