Houston "Food Not Bombs" in Court over Feeding the Unhoused
The ordinance #banning #food-#sharing had been in effect since 2012.
Citations, issued for “conduct[ing] a food service event without consent of property owner” carry potential #fines ranging from $254 (if volunteers don’t contest the tickets) to as much as $2,000.
Rather than eating the fines, volunteers have been opting for jury trials. The ultimate goal is to overturn the ordinance itself.
“This is an #unconstitutional law. It prevents freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
"It is part of our group’s mission to #share #food in public—not in church parking lots or anything like that,” Cooper told the Texas Observer over the phone in the days before his hearing

A post on Proton's Blog about why we need bigger fines for Big Tech.
in short, the fines we have levied, although in the billions, are almost nothing compared to the cash on hand of the tech giants.
Since the EU introduced the GDPR in 2018 it has fined companies a total of $7 Billion. The article includes a chart, but most big tech companies, have over $50 billion readily available cash on hand.
You know what would really stop corporate malfeasance? Every infraction, no matter how small the fine is set to 10% of their market value. Now that would be proper corporate regulation. #today #Corporations #Fines.
My bet is - and the Guardian doesn't mention this - those councils are still quids-in from the #fines they rake in. 'No motor vehicles' signs half way down a street, not at a junction, with no road paint are designed to trap the unwary, IMO. They don't all habe a pinch point and boxes, as per photo.

This should not be newsworthy. It should not take hundreds of thousands of dollars in court judgements to make news be news again. For reporters to report the facts - in real time, not in a disclaimer after the interview is aired - is not too much to ask; we need a 21st Century Fairness Doctrine.

On Feb 2, #Twitter filed a motion to vacate the #nondisclosure order & #JackSmith’s team sought a #contempt order from Howell. Howell held Twitter in contempt & approved #fines beginning at $50k/day, doubling for each day of #noncompliance.
“The court adopted that suggestion, noting Twitter was sold for over $40B & its owner’s net worth was over $180B. Twitter did not object to the sanctions formula,” the appeals court noted.
Twitter did not fully comply until Feb 9, resulting in the $350k fine.
@JuliusGoat *nodds in agreement*
One can cleary see this because #fines as a #punishment make certain actions only illegal for #poor people.
For example: Illegally parking somewhere despite signage banning it is seen as a "business expense" by rich people instead, as it's cheaper than pay for a fixed parking spot in a garage...
TikTok was already fined 12.7 million in the UK for illegal processing the data of over a million children. Now the EU is going after them breaching children's privacy Laws.
A while ago on the #OrangeSite I read a comment by someone claiming that #GDPR #fines for using #GoogleFonts were unconscionable because browsers are #UserAgents and companies shouldn't be fined for what they do.
This is of course incredulous victim blaming, but it does bump up against an uncomfortable fact: the term "user agent" as applied to browsers is at best useful fiction.
A real user agent would not have a mechanism to load arbitrary untrusted code into itself or contact third parties.
The #FTC’s demands of #OpenAI are the first indication of how it intends to enforce those warnings. If the FTC finds that a company violates #ConsumerProtectionLaws, it can levy #fines or put a business under a #ConsentDecree, which can dictate how the company handles data. The FTC has emerged as the federal government’s top #SiliconValley cop, bringing large fines against #Meta, #Amazon & #Twitter for alleged violations of consumer protection laws.
#GDPR fines hit €1.5 billion in H1 2023. Companies had to pay over €1.5 billion in GDPR #fines through the first half of 2023. On May 25th, GDPR celebrated its 5th anniversary. Throughout this time, businesses received 1679 fines combining to a sum of nearly €4 billion.
The data is based on GDPR Enforcement Tracker statistics. CMS — International Law Firm tracked all of the numbers provided on the website. Not all penalties are made public.

Fines - do you think they should be based on income? For example, should a millionaire face the same fine for speeding as a minimum wage earner? Or should it be based on a percentage of income in order to have a more equal impact? The way fines are now, there is no incentive for the wealthy to follow the rules or laws. Lower income earners are more adversely influenced impacted. #fines #laws if you want to boost for more responses, that would be cool too.

I really don't understand this. This article mentions in passing that Asda was fined £30,000 twice for failing to respond to information requests and for being unable to explain how being taken over affected its fuel pricing policy. In the same paragraph it mentions that Asda is acquiring a fuel business for £2.27bn.
Asda has enough money to be able to make acquisitions of businesses that are not its core business costing in the billions. A fine in the tens of thousands is literally not even noticeable to them. What is the point? I accept the CMA may not have power to impose a greater fine (I don't know), but what's the point in a regulator that either cannot or will not impose fines that actually hurt their targets?
It happens all over the place, companies being handed fines that aren't even negligible, they're just not actually noticeable. Nobody will follow the rules if it costs substantially less to break them than it does to follow them.

@EmilyGB2023 that would actually work.
For example, Customs #TaxFraud in the sense of importing cigarettes without properly declaring and paying taxes on them, carries a penalty of 400% the amount of tax owed + the tax owed and the cigarettes get confiscated by customs in #Germany...
Also #GDPR #fines are way too low and should be at least 100% the global revenue of a platform!
Mmmm.... Can we do that here, too please?
