Imagine how damning their behavior must be that they paid half a billion to cover it up.

Well, it has been criminal in several uniquely terrible ways for an incredibly long time. 500M to save on 1B in fines is reasonable being that Facebook is nearly dead in Europe and needs the US far more than it used to.

No college has real prestige.
They’re all just political book clubs.

The poison of personal data collection is too great for any company with any amount of tech to ignore. Profit on data sales must have crazy high margins or it must be so easy to do that you might as well. We needed regulations on this 20 years ago. Now who knows how many dark hats know you fucked Shelley in the back of your 2020 Subaru. It should have never gotten here in the first place. Now it will take some C Suite with way too much power and not a shred of responsibility to have his vile conversation on how poor people should die and women are objects for this to get 1/3rd of the regulation it should have.

I agree.
But no one knows about Shelley because I’ve never posted about it. . . . . DAMMIT! 🤣

Ron Desantis is already on it. Careful what you wish for

And what should the outcome be? No more higher education?
sunbeam60@lemmy.one 11 months ago
Could this new division wear brown shirts, please? Perhaps the books could be burnt in the streets.

Think of how different the entire world would be today if Mark Fuckerberg wasn't an irredeemable sack of complete garbage.

Hmm. Time to start another investigation.

The fact that Harvard bent over for a “donation” is just pathetic. They have a $50bn endowment. What is even the point of having that much money if not to be uncompromising on academic freedom?
isles@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I dunno if you’ve heard this, but under capitalism, more > less. And they got 1% more!
Harvard has been unethical in many cases in the name of growing their endowment. As if they were a corporation beholden to shareholders. Harvard Has a Brand Problem. Here’s How to Fix It.

How do you think they got said $50bn endowment
