    Wow, never thought I say to bow to this politicians words. Exactly. Facebook is nothing, just large marketing cow to suck money dry from companies using you. Get your life back you muppet, stop using this cancerous services.

      "life without Facebook is fantastic" so the only thing bad in that sad Germans life was caused by Facebook?
      Was he living his sad little existence on there ?
      What a sad little man.

      Some of us use it sparingly at most

Well as they please of course... But how could you understand the stupidity, hate, violence and distruction your beloved fakebook created, when you are what they want you to be? I find it right for people to be against a Dictatorial/rasist/hatefull/lying/propagandist/manipulative/snake of a platform. Actually zuckerburger should have long be in Prison and his crapp book finned for 2000000 trillions $, and still counting. So, you talk about freedom? You should be happy that there are smart people that actually try to protect your i·norant bottom.

            There are really great developers in EU, Meta can be replaced in 2-3 months if the marketing is good and I bet they can all handle it easily

              Too many boomers commenting here that life was better before social media.
              No one cares if you can't move on and your lives are boring now coz you cannot catch up with current gen.

              They should ban Google as well if they are so serious about users.

Paying for some servers here and there won't fload the banks in any country, nor will some small "uselessncers" do. Your comment makes no sense. Facecrooke, ehem Mbeta, needs to follow the rules and shut it. They did enough damage to this world. That Dindelberg should be happy he's not doing life time.

He will work his way on european servers and obey the rules, this one is for sure. Less money is still more money then no money.

                              Anonymous, 08 Feb 2022EU is just salty because Europe doesn’t even have a single ... moreHorrible take on the subject. Wanting more security for EU citizens isn't equal to saltiness for not having big tech companies. Besides, there is no logical reason for Meta to not abide to EU regulations, unless they really want the US to have control over users' data.

                                Byeeee

                                  People will use a VPN and remain on Instagram and Facebook. However, as a non-EU resident following the stories from the Middle East, being sinophile is the most dangerous thing Europeans are doing. I hope you don't go for a Chinese app.
