    I don’t get it.

    Others have paid billions in fines. Facebook, Cambridge Analytica for example. And we thought they were the super villains already.

    These super villains here are doing the same, and worse, and they do it in the open, and they go free, and they are even praised for it.

    A toast: Let’s all puke on them!

      And worse: other governments are actively buying into this. German officials were shocked when by Cambridge Analytica, Snowden revelations and even when their phone number on Facebook was leaked. But hey, now that they want to pay for it, they can’t be the product, right? Right?🙈

        It’s cuz of pro palestinian sentiments growing in the country. They don’t like these analytics companies, but their inner xenophobia trumps it. They have to defend against these filthy immigrants (especially the non-white, non-blue eyes, non-blond ones) from destroying German values. /s
