Facebook’s parent company Meta, has… to put it mildly… not been having a very good year.
It has plowed effectively all of its free cashflow (and then some) into competing in the AI race only to end up coming… a convincing… fifth place…
And just last week it went to court AGAIN for a potential 1.4 trillion dollar case brought against them by dozens of states for platform features alleged to have been specifically and unlawfully targeting users under 13 without proper parental consent.
That is, as of the time of making this video, more than the entire company is worth, and many times more than the business has in actual assets,
So even in the much more likely outcome of a fractional settlement in this case, that alone could still render them insolvent, when considering all of the other financial commitments they have tied themselves to…
which of course raises the question of… would the government actually let that happen?
