So it wasn't too long ago that the news got head of the Facebook "Supreme Court" that is supposedly even above mr Zuckerberg. I wonder what would happen if you'd appeal to them about this blatant disregard of sovereign laws worldwide. I don't know a single country that does not have some law in place forcing the leaker to notify the user. Obviously barrely any country does it, and if so, Booking just got a laughable 400k fine in the Netherlands for not notifying in time (though they eventually did just too late). I'm sure Facebook will get away with it. One thing I've learned s that theirs barrely a better time to buy big tech stock when they've announced a data leak. Though others seem to have caught on with that sentiment as the stock has been rising.

Even if a country decided about doing something about it, would they risk Facebook blocking that country altogether? Facebook has so much money, pretty much any fine will be just a slap on the wrist. What else they can do without causing public to go mad? Capture Mark and make him do time?
