Meta sued in excess of $150 billion for its role in Rohingya genocide

My understanding is that A) You can't jail a corporation. At all. And B) the laws are built so you can't jail individuals for the decisions that the corporation made. Corporations exist specifically to shield the liability of the individual and shifts those liabilities to the corporation. And since point A is a thing, the only recourse for illegal actions taken by individuals on behalf of the corporation is to seek monetary damages from said corporation.

At least that's how I understand American law and corporations to work since that's what Meta is and that's where I went to business school. Unsure how the legal shielding of a corporation would stand on an international scale. Let alone if the ICC could figure out who made these decisions that lead to this outcome and would thusly need to stand trial.
