In case you haven’t heard yet, there is another billion dollar man walking the earth. Except this time, the man OWES $1 billion dollars! The Quebec Superior Court recently ordered a Mr. Adam Guerbuez to pay a $1 billion dollar fine to Facebook. Why? Because he allegedly spammed people on Facebook with over 4 million inappropriate advertisements.
Now will Facebook be receiving their money soon? Ughh most likely no? Hes a regular person
who happened to enjoy spending his day sending ridiculous messages to millions of people. Not really the type of person who can pay anyone $1 billion dollars.
Now in my opinion this has simply made a mockery of the judicial system. I completely agree that something has to be done, and that Facebook needs to do something about the “spam” problem…but to try and get a man to pay $1 billion dollars? Really?!?
Ya, they have probably destroyed any chance of him living a normal life, but if he is already legally bankrupt (which he had admitted to BEFORE the sentencing) what have they really done?
