1 month agoGlad to hear it. But fines like this are just a cost of business for them and for every big company. A fine only hurts if it turns the profit negative. It has to bite enough that breaking the law costs more than not getting caught. Or someone goes to jail. They made more than $942 million by gambling with kids’ safety. The leaders likely read the ruling and did the math and would make the same decisions again and just try harder to get away with it. Getting caught harming children ( not just children ) at scale should result in a company no longer existing. It doesn’t.
Here is a fun game to try with your friends… flip the words of Company does X to random person does X … then see what punishments feel appropriate. Company X destroys the 10% of the amazon becomes Todd from work destroys… or Bob framed another person for sex crimes. Crazy how privileged companies are vs individuals.
