And apparently, not even Azure can salvage expectations.

BREAKING: @johncoogan is exploring the possibility of suing the lawyer who successfully argued Meta is designed to be addictive for making him addicted to reading about the case. He claims that learning about fines against tech companies is "ruining his mood entirely."
