Were the Tech firms a part of the interaction with the “dossier” since it was Steele of Great Britain who was the gathering source of the salacious material for the DNC/Democrats/Hillary Clinton? And – they used the internet.
As it continues to show up – the Democrats in cahoots with Russia/Great Britain meddled in the 2016 election. Wonder what other countries were involved in not wanting Prez Trump elected and were a part of this crime?
Why not use the money to pay down the debt? Now, if we hit the other tech companies who are doing our country dirty, we can fine them and pay off the debt?

FTC Imposes the Largest Fine in Tech Firm History

The dust has settled, and so has the FTC.
The Scandal
For those who are unfamiliar, in 2018 Facebook found itself in quite the scandal with London’s election consultancy, Cambridge Analytica. It is believed personal data was harvested from approximately 87 million Facebook users and then supplied to Cambridge Analytica.
They then, allegedly, used this data to show certain information on U.S. presidential election candidates. This led to concerns of meddling in the election because it is believed this information was displayed to sway Facebook users’ perceptions of the candidates.
Now, as a result, a $5 billion fine has been issued against the social media giant, for this privacy breach.
This fine is the highest issued to a technology firm.
