They make $1.4B per day. This is basically just a cheap subscription for them
From the article:
This is a reasonable observation and I wonder what Meta would do once one of their services becomes unprofitable in a specific country. Anyway if you add Instagram and WhatsApp to the math, maybe they would still generate profits from the Norwegian userbase
I wonder if this is a big amount for Norway's government. After 3 years you've got 100 million dollars. Not huge but you could build a nice hospital or something with that.
per capita, iirc, Norway is richer than U.S.
they don't need to fine fecesbook to get rich
Dude, Norway is one of the richest countries in the world.
