In relation to the recent fine that Facebook need to pay because of their practices that were leaked through the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I've collected quotes from a few different books on Facebook/Meta/Instagram/WhatsApp/Mark Zuckerberg/Sheryl Sandberg.

Meta is a corporation that should be stopped.

Meta fined $25bn for 'lies' over user data privacy: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqdr8zxrr3dxo

'A judge in New Mexico on Wednesday ordered the company to pay $25bn (£18.6bn) following a two-week trial earlier this year that found it had spent years lying to the public about how it handled Facebook user data.

"The lies extend beyond Facebook's data practices as well," the judge said, adding they went to "the heart of Facebook's core business practices".'
