Meta be like: let's threaten them with a shutdown

EU: I don't even care lol. Life is fantastic without u

Mission passed. Respect plus. Well Done EU

    AnonD-1033007, 08 Feb 2022Is this only for European Union countries or entire Europe ... moreIf EU bans it other countries will follow as well because they want to join EU so it's the same.

          Abyss, 08 Feb 2022Totally agree. FB and Instagram are really important, shutt... moreMan no we dont.
          You only thinks so.
          In moth after the FB and its sub apps gets closed you will realize life is everything else but not on social network.
          This aint Ready Player One movie.

            blue, 08 Feb 2022Why on Earth do people, who don't use FB or IG, want t... moreMan facebook is US company and it mzust follow european union orders and laws if not it have or should not have place and space to be here regardless of what you think.
            I am sorry.

              Facebook 1/month, Instagram similarly. No problem for me.
              I use messenger regularly, but because of image quality limits, Skype is now the top for me. Now only move contacts there or to 2. best, Viber.

                Bravo, Super Punch To FB IG as well as to Joker Burge....

                  And EU citizens too have no problems either. We rather do not have something then to have it with forced adds.

                    Oh hey Maaaaaan.
                    I would like to see Mark Zuckerberger loosing at least 25% of initial profit and at least 55%in next years if the facebook will be banned across european union.
                    I agree with both persons.
                    Our lives were a lot better without facebook, without google services and wthout many else.
                    Nowdays people cant live a life like 50-100 years before because new tech gadgets becomes a part of our life and noone of us leaving house without a cell phone.
                    HHuge problem of a modern world.

                          notafanboy, 08 Feb 2022Other apps will take their place.And maybe those apps will have to conform also

                            As they SHOULD.
                            Nobody cares if FB was to disappear. Instagram works be replaced by something else and people would quickly forget that even existed. If FB think they're intimidation anyone...

                              Meta: we're angry, we will shut down Facebook and Instagram if you continue with laws! EU: ok no problem.
                              I don't use either of these anyways.

                                  No problem with giving a kick to Facebook, but to say that politicians are respecting the human rights is a joke. Every single line from Nuremberg code has been broken by EU politicians.

                                      The EU is only enforcing existing laws or adding teeth. US has never fully met safe harbor requirements.. That said, im not naive and there is also the elections angle at play..
