Only 15 billion? I think we’re all getting comfortable with TRILLION now that Biden is spending money.

That’s about 1/2 a year’s profit for the company, and about 10% of their liquid assets on hand.

They’ll just take it out of Petty Cash. No biggie.

I guess they couldn’t buy ALL of the SCOTUS this time.

Fakebook has roughly 3 BILLION USERS, right? And this is a $15 billion payout. So after the lawyers take their cut, maybe this will pay out a couple bucks to each user.
That's what your personal privacy is worth these days. A couple bucks. *SPIT*

Good call on the Supreme’s part. Too bad they chickened out on anything to do with the theft of the 2020 election. They’re still a bunch of cowards. I was in favor of Kavanaugh, but I have to admit, when he cried on tv, he looked like a 12 year old wimp, which, so far, he seems to be. Next time Trump gets to be president, I hope he gets some real, honest, CONSERVATIVE advisors.

SCOTUS justices at home that night: “Hey, what gives? I can’t use my email, my Excel and Word files are empty, I’m off Twitter and now I can’t even have access to the internet. I must have hit a wrong button signing on. And the phone banking just made a mistake and said I have no money in any account. What a bad day.”

That's going to be the hallmark of the Roberts Supreme Court - cowardice.

That’s about 1/2 a year’s profit for the company, and about 10% of their liquid assets on hand. That's a blood-letting haircut that could tank the stock for quite a stretch if FB has to fork it over in a judgment. Lots of investors would lose a lot of money, and lots of FB employees--and also some company officers--would be let go.

It is also essentially a meaningless number. $15 billion is the amount the plaintiffs are asking for. Their lawyers can put just about any number they want in the complaint, and it doesn’t mean the case is actually worth anything approaching that amount.

"Would like to be part of that..."
Majority of award and damage monies will go the lawyers.
Each plaintiff will get pennies or a coupon.

Curious why they aren’t suing Apple and Samsung and Google for allowing these tracking apps to function on their device. If you illegally wiretap someone, doesn’t the guy who installed the wire also get a charge?

Is the FBI a party to this suit?
