Nope. Let’s not do this.

powerful posting.

Wow.

This should save Yunus.

I don’t think the issues you raise are valid.

It costs more than zero to levy a fine, but we are talking about many billions in income here. Your point would be valid if gathering staff and then fining Google 9 billion were a net zero. It isn’t.

We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.

Which is what I suggested. The best way to prevent these practices is libre alternatives.

Take some of that money you get fining surveillance-capitalists and use it to fund privacy-respecting libre alternatives

• Fined Facebook €1.2 billion in May 2023

• Fined Facebook €390 million in Jan 2023

• Fined Microsoft €561 million in March 2013

• “fined the company [Google] more than $9 billion for anticompetitive practices since 2017” (2019 article)

The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with Taiwan was $51.0 billion in 2022.

That confirms the title.

Pretending not to notice that fat people are fat is unique to Western culture.

Nobody in Africa would see a problem with this. I bet Asia is the same.
