Facebook took three days to disclose this to the public because that was the maximum amount of time they could wait under the GDPR. They notified the FBI the day before.
But, y'know, they also prevented people from posting the Guardian's article about the breach on Facebook. Their super smart AI that's going to solve and automate global content moderation marked the hot news as spam because a lot of people posted it. As if it wasn't manually added to the spam filter.

A fine means "legal for rich people," and they're particularly ineffective against corporations. :/ Putting teeth back into our regulations is the only way forward, I agree.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

I hope they get regulated, fines are meaningless
