    Meta also allegedly modified settings “so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur,”

    Big tech taking without giving back to the community once again.

            Secret out-of-court settlement is an option.

            Also known as “bribing your way out of the law”

            The amount meta will pay is pocket change to them.

        I like the optimism, but I’d see it before I believe it.

        Yeah they’ll lawyer up, but only for themselves. They have no reason to to do anything that benefits the rest of us.

        Maybe the torrenting community could see some legal benefits, but only if incentives align. Which they very well may not because Meta is not one of us and their interests don’t really align with anyone else’s.
