@cjd @CapitalB it is the end of the world for him, there's potentially up to $58 billion dollars of penalties on the line

For scale, Epic Games got fined $275M for COPPA violations with 34.3M daily users. Meta had 2.96 billion.

Any idea why?

except for the obvious?

That dude is neither an entrepreneur, billionaire, nor a genius inventor, but actually an annointed bankster apparatchik front for funds to be dispersed at the command of his betters.

Read the OP. He's panicking and wanting to dox everyone because advertisers don't like spending money to show ads to bots.

My bad, forgot to scroll all the way up to read OP.

When I was a boy, we had to scroll uphill both ways, using a mouse without a mouse wheel.

remember cleaning the gunk off the track-ball and the track ball guides?

Kids will never know what we faced so they could have their touch screens.

Never really used the track ball style, but I do remember cleaning the ball under the mouse, before laser mice were a thing.

Also throwing them at people, because they hurt a lot more than you would expect :]

If only the solution to the bot problem wasn't to have a pseudo gratis centralized proprietary SaaSS.
But artificial problems is also how you not only sell fake solutions but also lobby new laws so
