I honestly hate that we've normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling people that they are ill informed & ignorant
You don’t find it weird that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty? Doesn’t it strike you as bizarre that no one with that kind of wealth wants to be the hero who actually solves the world’s biggest problems when they literally could? Isn’t that suspicious?
Harmful Bacteria cannot survive in water below 20C.
These 'data centers' are pumping out water at 45C.
It's the perfect temperature for growing huge amounts of deadly bacteria.
No one wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want the bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
Four states are suing Meta for $1.4 trillion.
That is one trillion four hundred billion dollars.
Meta’s entire market cap is $1.5 trillion.
So they are asking for 93 percent of the company’s existence.
The math is simple. Number of teenagers exposed to addictive design times the maximum fine per violation under state law.
Millions of teenagers times thousands of dollars per violation.
Equals one trillion four hundred billion.
Meta said no case in history has ever ordered a penalty that large.
They are correct.
No company has ever deliberately engineered a product specifically to addict children then lied about it at scale until Meta.
New Mexico went to trial first.
Jury found Meta liable.
Ordered $375 million in damages.
The judge let the bigger case proceed.
Now four states are asking for 3,733 times that amount.
Meta’s executives told investors to expect material losses on youth scrutiny.
They did not mention $1.4 trillion in the filing.
If the jury sides with the states even partially.
Meta cannot survive the verdict.
Capital raises. Asset sales. Restructuring.
All of it.
The company that said social media addiction is not a real psychiatric condition.
Is about to find out if a jury disagrees.
The trial is August 18.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
