Meta shareholders are suing CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with current and former executives, for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs following the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
They want Mr Zuckerberg and his co-defendants to reimburse the company for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs Meta paid following the controversy.
I know, my question was not directly why its in this news this way. Its a more general question by me. I don't get it. Lot of personal blogs do this too, BTW. In my opinion this is "wrong". A paragraph should consists multiple sentences, that contain a single thought process or something else to group. Its like in programming code to do every single statement a blank line in between. Instead an idea should be grouped together into a block. Just an analogy with code. /My Opinion
My believe is, they want intentionally make the post look bigger. Instead 3 or 4 paragraphs (which would be the entire article in this case) they spread it out like this. So you have to scroll and see more ads and links and they have more possibilities to put more ads and links in between every paragraph. /My Conspiracy
Edit: Maybe there is something else. Lot of people read news articles on smartphones. And text would wrap around very quickly and look longer than they are. So maybe using more paragraphs gives more room between each sentence. As I am not reading much on smartphones, can't judge this. But I still don't like this. /My Edit
