@noellemitchell

I like the question in the headline.
"Did they think they could get away with it?"

Yes, in fact, they will.

@noellemitchell Of course they’ll get away with it. What, is the judge going to enjoin them from distribution? Take it off the market? I’ll believe it when I see it.

@noellemitchell Oh no! I wonder what will happen next!

@noellemitchell Just like his buddy, Trump. Zuck can ignore court orders too.
