1 year agoIt did work well for reddit imvho as it’s understood that reddit definitely lost revenue and users as a result - but that might also not apply to FB so well in this case; as the reddit one was global rather than specific to a single country, and reddit was already unprofitable to begin with - whereas this is boycotting what’s likely an already unprofitable line for a very profitable company.
I’m not seeing the ‘or’ bit. The article says the driver was already sentenced to nine years back in 2019. So it might be prison and deportation.
It also says he was a new permanent resident when the crime was committed. I’m surprised how they can so easily deport someone who has PR.
Alas, this is the real problem. And this case/hearing isn’t going to affect the precedent on that, it will only affect the precedent for the future chumps.
