If it works, I hope we give it to all the divers and improve our sea research.

If it doesn't, maybe the suits should be named Titan's and we can give them to rich folk so that they can call themselves Deep Sea Aquanauts or some shit

    And nothing of value was lost.

    Even though, there were some entertaining YouTube videos about breaking it or getting stuck in sand. Many things carry an unforeseen positive side with them.

    If I commit a 100.000 fraud, I'll go to jail for quite a while

    Zucker commits 16 billion Doll in fraud, will he go to jail, and will he go to jail for a fee million years at least?

    Of course not, they'll pay a "penaltiy" tax and that will be the end of it

    Right, and yahoo exploited people to get that money. Are you saying that his work on that site was more of a contribution to society than the entire lifetimes of thousands of tech workers, a few of which probably actually designed and built the site?

    But that's not how he got his billions, and he's not contributing anything back really, he's just accepting a little less profit than he could. A serial killer with human body part trophies in their basement doesn't suddenly become a good person if they save a cat from a tree.

    Are normal people still on FB? I thought it would be all conservatives by now. If only conservatives are getting ripped off, then no harm done. I only care if actual humans are being harmed.

    Doesn't matter. There is no amount of work or contribution to society a single person could perform in a single lifetime that would be worth anywhere near $1 billion. Maybe it was another person or company who did the exploitation itself, but he knowingly profited from that.

    As someone that had an elderly mother that was scammed multiple times because of sinister bullshit like this, Facebook can’t burn to the ground fast enough, and fuckface Zuck needs to swing from the gallows.

    The fact that something like Facebook exists without public oversight or control is absolutely insane .... if your national public rely heavily on one source for the majority of the information and communication, what do you think is going to happen? Is like saying that there is only one company that owns every newspaper across the country and they are allowed to self regulate themselves.

    It's like Joseph Goebbels said about media and communications 'Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.'

    Except this time, we've allowed multinational corporations at the keyboard to play the music that we all dance to
