Facebook's $5B FTC fine was so laughable its stock price went UP after the announcement

Good BoingBoing reply. I must have been wondering why the share price would go up, and this is obviously it. Much as I would (apparently, inwardly) like to imagine Zuckerberg as The Joker…

“$5B? Is that all you got? Ha ha ha! Now, what do you pay for THIS?..” [ presses giant red button ].

It is always better, if a little less dramatic sometimes, to know the facts. We know we are supposed to boo when the pantomime villain appears, but it is better to know what he is actually doing, and whether he is getting away with it.
