    they wont shut it down. Fb and ig are powerful in persuading public opinion and the EU takes advantage of it.

      What is wrong with this Data protection law? Assuming the ads in the European servers are used to provide targeted ads to people in Europe why on God's RGYB earth would you store the data in US? Me for one, will not buy some product from US when I am living in Europe unless it is an absolute necessary for me.

      Or am I understanding the concept wrong? if yes, could some one please explain :) Cheers

                      A lot of entrepreneurs rely on Facebook and Instagram for their businesses, you just can’t shut them down, this is crazy! M. Bruno Le Maire, please leave your seat to young, modern ministers who won’t turn our beautiful France country into a Titanic.

                                  Amazon's Jeff Bezoz Half a Billion Dollar Yatch is apparently too large to go through Rotterdam's Koningshaven Bridge. So, with his money, he has convinced corrupt politicians to dismantle the bridge for him, until such time as he deens fit. The bridge was built in 1878, when the big tech moguls weren't around, fortunately.
