I will personally stay on the internet instead of what essentially amounts to google intranet.

Totally agree. Facebook should have been absolutely crippled financially after influencing an election, but they get off scot free.

My idea is this:

Instead of a maximum fine being applied, you take a violation, lets say influencing an election, and you calculate how much of the corporations revenue came from that source. (i.e. Facebook messenger revenue would not count for election manipulation). Then, take a huge portion of that revenue (60%, 70%? [Depending on the violation]) and take that from their revenue. Who gives a shit if Facebook literally has to close down one of their services from lack of finances, thats what they get.

Its the closest we have!

I understand that mindset and agree with its validity (especially the Holocaust example). I think putting that into law effectively is extremely difficult, as many people would draw the lines differently as to what should be applicable.

YES like I just want to milk alien cows

I think realistically the only way to fix that flaw would be starting over. Unrealistically, a constitutional amendment could solve a lot of those issues.

Yeah, the relationship betweens corporations and our government absolutely has to change. I totally agree that the system is not at all working in that regard. It especially pisses me off when corporations break the law and the fines amount to nothing except the cost of doing business.

I understand, what I'm saying is thats a poor way to judge the quality differences between men and womens football.

I would imagine that to be the case when an average participant is observing the footage. Now have a team of men play a team of women, blur it enough to be ambiguous, and see what team is playing higher quality football.

The worst part is even if they perfectly implement this, it would stop only the dumbest of criminals. Encryption algorithms are open source, and can just be used as such. You cant stop the criminals from using math, which is why the bill actually achieves nothing.
