When I left, GH was valued at around $40 billion. Above the $8B they were purchased for. Well below $1T that is claimed

Even if they were valued around $100million they would still have more enough resources to solve this problem. Stop excusing companies that hate hiring people and are so greedy they would rather punt this problem to the commons fucking over an entire community that literally enabled them to exist.

Come on here, even Meta hires people in Kenya to look at CP and snuff films to label this stuff. Meta! They literally profited off of a genocide and they still know how to do this.

Excuse after excuse for these greedy companies.
