A quick search found that foxnews said that crimes under that amount were misdemeanors and that some prosecutors, primarily those supported by the democrat party, have said they will not prosecute that level of crime because it is a misdemeanor.
Also your links did not show anything from foxnews. You really need to start thinking for yourself, and stop copy and pasting from your hate sites.

Probably not.
there is another court case along this same theme and the issue there and here was that the web site required people who wanted to post an ad had to select an age and sex.
In both cases the court said that was illegal, federal law in the first, california law here.
With a magazine or tv show I get to know who the primary views are but that does not prevent someone outside that range from seeing it. with facebook it does prevent that, even if I go into the facebook site for those magazine I would not see the ad.

For those that were wondering for him to receive 8 years and what was really happening.
First that business was setup without any licening or registration, minor issue, then he used false records to make it look like a church owned the assests so he could protect it from taxes. he also instructed people to say in tax forms that they had donated money to his various fake churches.
It was then shown in court that he knew the scammers were using his site, and he would charge then up to 21%, for him to act as the middleman. Asking some questions is not going to cover you if you know people are using you for illegal activities.
The $40,000 is a fine, some for the lack of filing business papers. the next court action is to find out how much he will required to pay in restitution, and that will be in hte millions; the scammers had used him to take in over $10 million.
The trial for this took place last year when he was convicted.

What you describe is more "application neutrality" and is not reflected in the bills on net neutrality people have been pushing. The various bills that have been pushed would prevent my local ISP from blocking spam email,and would prevent school districts, which are just ISPs to schools under the definitions from blocking various non-kid sites.

BTW which lies and misinformation about vaccines:
That vaccinated people are still "likely to get sick"?
That covid-19 possibly came from a lab leak in china?
That the slowed school reopening was going against the science and was bad for the students.

Those are all truths that joe biden lied about and social media labeled as misinformation or lies.

So the insurance providers are using facebook tools to decide who gets their ads for insurance.
As much as I agree about the section 230 immunity how is this a case against facebook. The insurance providers set the criteria of age and sex that they wanted so they should be the ones sued.
This is like sueing whoever shows football on TV because it watched by more men, when it would be the companies who looked at the demographics and picked that show to advertise on.

Just another issue due to management. Original specifications had been to change business to work with the new system and then after implementing it they decided that no they wanted the software to be changed to how they were doing business.

The USA and international law recognize sovernty up to 12 nautical miles. Any thing you due there that is illegal in the USA you can be prosecuted.
then up to 24 nautical miles is another zone where the country can protect rights and you can be prosecuted for most crimes.
then out to 200 nautical miles is an economic exclusive zone where the USA has very little legal control its purpose is for conserving, exploring, managing or exploiting natural resources This is the reason china is building those islands and then trying to enforce sovrenty on. In this case they coast guard can still board the vessel and also require that certain safety equipment is equiped and those are the charges this marathoner is now facing after he refused those actions. jurisdiction out to 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers), he was at 70 nautical miles.

yes there is.
You just had that happen up in canada with weightlifting, multiple men, including one with a full beard, declared themselves as women and have now set women weight records.
In the USA you have had multiple convicted male rapists declare themselves as female and demaded they they be transfered to female prisions.
Heck you even have a failed male actor who decided to declare themselves as female and used that to make fun of women and came out earning millions.
