They were just taking a "wait and see" approach when deciding to connect with Meta, so it's fine, right?

@arstechnica How does one imprison a company?

@adamcsmith @arstechnica I’d be down with ranking shareholders in decreasing order of percentage of holdings, and then take enough of them to have a controlling interest. They get to be the ones who go to jail for the full sentence

@arstechnica So anyway, have fun with Threads, I guess.

@arstechnica If true, the civil liability exposure is astronomical, yes?

And criminal law likely violated as well.

Corps don’t go to jail. Officers of the Corp, or board members might, though. Likely? Sadly, no.

But, at the very least, this looks bankruptingly expensive

@arstechnica this should be clear indication of the dire need for an American GDPR.

@arstechnica "Why don't we work with Meta and integrate with #threads?"

@arstechnica credit to Senators Elizabeth Warren. Ron Wvden. Richard Blumenthal, Tammy Duckworth, Bernie Sanders, and Sheldon Whitehouse, and
Representative Katie Porter. This has a Warren feeling to it; it's her kind of issue.

Your vote counts. Never forget it.

@arstechnica Two thoughts:

1. I am glad I use TurboTax. It looks like Intuit avoided this nonsense.
2. When do the "lock Zuck up" chants start? 😆

@arstechnica Anyway, lets jump on Threads it's totally fine.

A stone building with raised letters on the wall "INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE". A sliver of blue sky and trees can be seen on the left.
