Mark Zuckerberg is $25 Billion Poorer Today, Meaning it's a Good Day for Accountability

I voluntarily closed up writing shop and permanently left Mark Zuckerturd's continually degenerating 'social' media platform Facebook/Meta after having watched it being used, with zero pushback or oversight, to spread all manner of disinformation and political ratfuckery in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.

My own personal concerns about Facebook were more than just about their atrocious and incompetent handling of their user's private data.

I was also disturbed by Facebook's penchant for permitting bad actors to hijack and flood their platform during the 2024 election season with a blitzkrieg of disinformation and gutter-level political messaging, much of it resembling the type and tone of propaganda put out by Hitler's Nazi regime in 1930's Germany.

And don't come at me with that, "but Zuckerberg is Jewish!," bullshit for making that statement.

Mark Zuckerberg's one and only religion is wealth and power for himself.  Period.  End of fucking discussion.

So it's not at all surprising to hear news that Zuckerturd was sued by the state of New Mexico for deceiving his platform users about Facebook's privacy, and now has lost that case and has been told to pay the state of New Mexico $25 Billion dollars as a judgment.

That's $25 Billion with a capital 'B' kids.

The amount of that judgment tells me more than anything that the jury saw evidence of behavior by Zuckerburg and his company that was so fucking egregiously corrupt and underhanded that they just assigned the maximum judgment in hopes the final payout will be the highest amount possible.

Either way, it should serve as a warning to those still using Zuckerturd's products.  Speaking for myself, I personally have no desire to hand all of my personal data, photos, and creator content over to an unscrupulous dirtbag like Mark Zuckerberg and his unscrupulous dirtbag company, but that's just me.

Oh - and it goes without saying that hopefully other states are watching this case closely and plan to file their own lawsuits to bring some measure of accountability to these arrogant tech-bro assholes like Zuckerberg.
