Sanctions were applied after the social media platform delayed compliance with a federal search warrant that required Twitter to hand over Donald Trump's Twitter data without telling the former president about the warrant for 180 days.

Until fines become wealth based, it will always be a poor people tax.

If cash flow is the issue, then start taking stocks.

Or make them recurring fines that grow exponentially each time they are issued until the situation is fixed.

Edit: nvm it sounds like this is exactly what they are doing.

Not just a "poor person tax" but it means that the law just doesn't apply in any meaningful way to the wealthy
