C'mon. It's not that hard. You're making the assumption that Andy Stone is telling the truth, with a gotchya astrict.

What if......the big business just......LIES???

The best lies have some kind of truth in them. Half truths are way more effective than complete falsehoods.

Asterisk? This little fella? *

Nah, probably meant the other little fella - Asterix the Gaul.

In what world do you live where billionsires face actual consequences?

Worst case scenario, Meta pays a small fine, and doesn't even blink. The day just goes on.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean yeah, but they'd usually not pay even a small fine (or pay for legal proceedings), so it's a lot more efficient to use conveniently placed loopholes.
