This is exactly the sort of thing I want governments doing. Let bad businesses fail! Help them down the drain, even.

As much as I hate Meta, this is just going to become a "cost of doing business". They have $32B in yearly revenue, this would cost them $36.5mil a year, a small drop in the bucket to what they bring in.

But how much money do they make in norway though? And it’s all a matter of consistently increasing that cost of doing business everywhere
