Seems like this will be just the beginning of fines that X/Twitter can collect.

$380k (US dollars) is nothing more than a slap on the wrist for Musk. Fines need to be higher and continuous to make a lasting impact on him, users, and advertisers.

Not sure about that, there’s not exactly a lot of money flowing into the company since nobody’s paying for Twitter blue, and he’s only attracting the lowest rung of advertisers (drop shipping and crypto scams, essentially), and loans have become expensive.

The EU is also on a similar path, and their fines are actually denominated in percentages of revenue.

It’s 600k AUD.

If he doesn’t pay it +within the 30 days?), then the enforcement of the fine can be up to $780k AUD per day, from the day the fine was issued.

What’s the bet he finds out?

If they fine him as much as you say every day for 243 years, it will just about equal the amount Muskrat paid for Twitter. I don’t think he’s worried.

What a coincidence, the moment a social platform is infested with right wing trash, CSAM starts appearing.

rustyfish@lemmy.world on 16 Oct 2023 07:39 next collapse

Yeah, it’s always such a coincidence and no one can explain this weird, mysterious phenomenon. But it’s probably Antifa Warlocks with their internet voodoo.

False flag Antifa cabal communists obviously

Didn’t Lemmy have this issue for a while?

Lemmy has right wing instances.

Was that where the problem was?

Pxtl@lemmy.ca on 16 Oct 2023 14:18 next collapse

Remember when all the Musk fanboys were claiming that Musk cleaned up the CSAM and anybody who opposed him was obviously a pedophile? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

It so pleases me that the world still hold on to Twitter and Tweets as if we all know someone used a time machine a or parallell world hopper and messed with reality.

The guy’s not paying rents, why would he pay fines?

trash80@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Oct 2023 16:53 collapse

What do they do if he refuses to pay? Can they extradite him?

ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca on 17 Oct 2023 17:17 collapse

They could put out an arrest warrant and try but I doubt it goes anywhere

They could block his companies from their country but I doubt they do that
