laws

The OP screenshot has literally nothing to do with the law. It's a lawsuit by Facebook shareholders, that was settled.

And you know, Zuckerberg can't decide on his own to settle this lawsuit. It was settled, meaning both he, and those suing him, agreed to be paid this amount to stop pursuing the suit.

If you think that amount's too small, you should take it up equally with him and the shareholders doing the suing.

law suit is part of the legal system which is based on laws.

This lawsuit's outcome, settlement, was not determined by the legal system, which means describing it as "how much laws apply to you" is objectively false, despite your semantic pedantry.

The outcome was negotiated based on how it would have fared in the legal system.
