BTW: am cross about this settlement because they should have left the trial go ahead so people could see the evidence they get to keep hidden with this settlement.
seriously, this is just a legal bribery so Meta/Facebook and Zuckerberg won't have to actually reveal under oath all the criminal shit they get away with; thanks to the United States lack of regulation of websites claiming to have billions of users.
criminalize using websites as a front for stalkerware and send Zuck to the slammer.
Got off cheap.
