Fuck the fines, they don’t hurt them. We need jail time to get the point across. Jail tome for whatever top exec greenlit this.

That is precisely why they only ever get fined.

No corporate board would ever see jail time while we still have Corporate Personhood. End the 13th Amendment.

How is the 13th amendment related
Sorry, fat fingers and not proof reading. Meant to write 14th Amendment.
This article goes into a little detail about how it started.

They would just push that jail time down to the lowest level of management acceptable and some poor schmuck would be the scapegoat. I think what would really work would be sanctions against the company or blocking their merchandise from your Market

Force them to offer refunds on the affected devices. They’ll go belly up if they lose a sale based on their forced degradation.
Sounds like a decent ideal

Jail time plus a fine that hurts, $200 billion sound about right for a first offense.
