Believing billionaires will face consequences is practically a mental illness these days.

Delusional disorder ☑️

I don't think there is anything false with what they said, it's just stating the punishment for the crime. Now, whether those punishments actually happen is the question.

The French did something about it, a few hundred years ago. Just saying.

Yeah, people are acting like this is up to chance - rich people throw money at their problems, and so long as someone is willing to spend their time catching it instead of doing their job, it works. It's going to work. The 5 year sentence is for poor people they want to get rid of, not for rich people they want to profit from.

I'm so tired of living in a fantasy world.

I'm not sure, I don't care about fines, but I think Imane Khelif would deserve some compensation for what they put her through.

So, a jail sentence and generous damages payed to the victim would be an ideal outcome from my point of view.

Agree, but you know that's about as likely to happen as Trump serving time. The legal system likes money as much as everyone else.

Five years is the maximum sentence, which a person with no prior convictions should easily be able to avoid. Even if the case was brought against a regular person, I doubt there would be jail time. Musk and Rowling can naturally afford the best lawyers, and Rowling has gone radio silent from what I heard. So, fine is easily possible, but jail time is highly unlikely.

Musk? no way.

Jk mold? Maybe but unlucky

Literally, they don't produce anything. They would probably accumulate more wealth while in prison. In my ideal society the judge would hit them for a percentage of their net worth.

Harrassment and defamation are real charges regardless of whether they happen online or not

I am sure. It's caused suicides.

Sometimes I think the Right has a point about how sensitive we are... But, only sometimes...

Nobody does till it happens to their kids or a family member and you see what it does to someone, especially children and young people

There was a very nice bit in the TV show Emma:

"She should be able to come and go as she pleases, not as the fucking Daily Mail pleases! Pardon my language."

"It's alright. I've heard the words 'daily mail' before."
