• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

And yet if these states just got together and created actual privacy laws...well this would still happen but at least there would be rules in place saying it can't be done

They like the fundraiser of shaking down tech companies from time to time. If they actually tried to solve the problem, this income source gets cut off. There's a reason why you constantly hear politicians TALKING about problems, but never actually doing anything to solve them. The problem is the product they use to profit.
 
And will likely settle for another slap on the wrist because said politicians are all bought and paid for, like the $18Billion settlement with string attached we will never see actually enforced.

Meta sadly appears to have become like the auto industry, too big to fail, bought and paid for whomever they need, now building datacenters to keep the AI race going, so full backing of Trump for that
 
The jury found over 43 million violations of state consumer protection law and it is now up to the judge to determine how much the company would pay.

The lawyers are asking for $5,000 per violation. Which is $215 billion.

Thats larger than the $208 billion damages leveraged against the tobacco industry (the famous Master Settlement Agreement).

What horrible crime worse than cancer death are we talking about here? It was a personality poll that the info was harvested by Cambridge Analytica. You might remember them as the evil company that helped <redacted> in the 2016 election using Facebook. For the few people who enjoy context when understanding outrage, you might wonder where did Cambridge Analytica get the bright idea to co-opt Facebook to win an election? Well it was from watching the success and amazement that everyone had from Carol Davidsen who helped the <redacted> campaign win in 2012. Cambridge Analytica then did the same thing 4 years later. But got a different reaction.
