The class got involved by asking about who actually got fined for the violations, if it is the individuals, or the group owners/companies. The owners are the ones who deal with the repercussions, reprimands, and monetary fines. The individuals in question may get fired, lose privileges, or just be publically criticized. A question that I would have liked to ask the class but didn't have time to is- what are your opinions on increased or decreased diversity of content due to group ownership?
