      350k is a slap. Criminal charges should be made agaist leaders who ordered the delays.

        It was doubling every day. They were scared of day 15 where it would’ve been 780mil for the day and over 1.562billion total.

        Every day doubling is a really good consequence, the fact that it only took twitter 3 days to comply once the penalty started actually hitting should confirm that

          It took 6 months, and they got fined because they broke the law. If the company knewkon day one it would face criminal charges for non compliance after a period for appeal we would have seen results months ago.

        Bro, Elon gutted Twitter. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have the right people to get this information. I wonder if it sat in a mailbox for a day before they even had someone look at it.

      Elon is bleeding millions a day at this point - he won’t even know that this 350k ever existed or what it was for.

        100% this. This fine should be increased hundred fold at the very least. In the real world someone would be held in contempt of court and jailed. Laws for the common man and piddly fines for the wealthy parasites of the world.
