Good.

Title was changed. Now it's:

> Mark Zuckerberg ‘personally authorized’ Meta’s copyright infringement, *publishers allege*

this dude got in over his head with the evil empire, it is interesting how he learned judo and tried to surf, that being said I despise social media and what it did to society

Does it matter? The company's liability would (i assume) not change if the ceo authorized it or some other high level figure authorized it.

The question to answer is, did it happen and if so is this copyright infringement (not covered by fair use), not which company official authorized it.
