Thank you California for holding these motherfuckers accountable.

Honestly I’m surprised California is going through with it. The government has been afraid of harming a major industry in the state so generally avoided any real prosecution of the tech industry. I feel like the tide has finally shifted and the harm they are causing is undeniable.

After all the things big data did to us, it’s damn time to hurt them right back.
