How much you guys wanna bet this goes nowhere but a few fines?
All I've been seeing lately is news about possible actions against this big corporations, while they keep rolling out questionable stuff like nothing is happening.
Wouldn't say so. The people that care are the kind of people they would want to work for them otherwise in many cases. Techies, CS people.
Yea google already knows. Its just few millions, cost of doing business.
It's still a step in the right direction, and the justice department better get used to it because there's a LOT of corporations that need taken down a peg
What do you mean? A fine equivalent to 0.001% of their profit is going to cripple them! They might have to fire more staff just to stay afloat. Poor Google.
Gatekeep and track everything. Pay the pennies to the law and keep raking in the profits.
