Meta “had exercised an unfair market advantage by extracting personal data of internet users in violation of European law and using it to create more effective advertising”.
That’s one helluva law.

So what are you proposing?
I don’t have a solution but more transparency for starters. If I put money on the line I want to make sure the judge isn’t corrupt.
“Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion, and the surest of all guards against improbity. It keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial”
— Jeremy Bentham, 1748-1832, English Jurist & Philosopher.
My friend just had a $100k decision against him and looking at a further $500k in legal fees for the other side while having paid $600 of his own fees.
The judge lied in the published decision that my friend already pleaded guilty to a crime from a recent previous hearing and was convicted. However the police had dropped the prosecution of that case because there was no evidence.
Despite that obvious bias going into the decision I don’t know if any lawyer will appeal on that basis because of the career repercussions of calling out a judge.
It would help if he could publish online the previous case which was dismissed but he would risk contempt of court for continuing to talk about the matter (a defamation case).
There were plenty of other dodgy things like the other party committing perjury, being caught out lying yet the judge not caring.
This other party is not “rich” but connected to powerful people.
