I like that Meta is fined for this bad practice. But why are they paying the state? How does this help anyone that was actually victim of the facial recognition?
I can see an argument based on how state funds help state residents. But it still doesn’t really feel right to me.
A real tangential thought: What if fines claimed by the state didn’t increase the states fund? What if those funds reduced the tax burden of residents from the bottom up?
Maybe they could use the funds on the freedom grid so fewer people die this winter
This is one of the best cases of “When one of the worst cunts you know of makes a really good point.”
i’d wager it’s more about paxton trying to let zuckerberg know who’s boss, and that he’d better toe the line if he wants to stay in business
the notion that ken paxton actually cares about commoners’ privacy is, um…sus
