Comment on Spanish court orders Meta to pay nearly half a billion euros in damages to media outlets
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 days agoThis money should be paid to the public for being targeted with illegal privacy practices.
So the public should sue them. This is not the court deciding where the money should go. Media companies sued for their share, the public can sue to get their.

If you sue and lose it could cost up to a million dollars in your own legal fees and having to pay theirs.

I don’t have a solution but more transparency for starters. If I put money on the line I want to make sure the judge isn’t corrupt.
“Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion, and the surest of all guards against improbity. It keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial”
Jeremy Bentham, 1748-1832, English Jurist & Philosopher
