This is a Meta pixels case. The pixel setup includes the placement of cookies on users’ devices. The plaintiffs argued that the cookie placement trespassed their devices.

An offer in compromise (OIC) allows a taxpayer to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount they owe. The OIC may be a legitimate option if your client cannot pay their full tax liability or if doing so creates a financial hardship. IRS considers a taxpayer’s unique set of facts and circumstances including their ability to pay, their income and expenses and their asset equity.

Low-value contracts might seem harmless, but when they come in by the dozens (or hundreds), they quickly become a burden. Reviews slow down, approvals stack up, and legal teams end up buried in paperwork that rarely needs deep review. The issue isn’t complexity. It’s scale. And if you’re wondering just how common this is, here’s a number worth noting: Fortune 2000 companies manage between 20,000 and 40,000 active contracts at any given time.
