This is very disappointing. This settlement does nothing to change Facebook’s creepy surveillance of its own users & the misuse of user data. It does nothing to hold executives accountable. It utterly fails to penalize Facebook in any effective way. https://t.co/kJjGwUNiRv

“The fact that Facebook’s stock value increased with the disclosure of a potential $5 billion penalty may suggest that the market believes that a penalty at this level makes a violation profitable.”

And then this $5B goes into the federal budget. So the message here is you can violate 10x, just make sure you budget for it. https://t.co/UydccdaKoR

5 billion is a hefty fine, even for Facebook. Maybe this will humble the Zuck a bit. https://t.co/AO7DMgK0TV

Facebook recouped more than what it will have to pay out for the FTC settlement through what it gained in market value today. The stock added $6 billion to its market cap. $FB https://t.co/AiqAJInAZ6
