https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/02/meta-may-be-forced-to-shutter-facebook-instagram-in-eu/ What Meta employees think about this? You can't threat European Union (the second biggest market after North America) to pull out of the market. You will eventually lose. You are just a social media company. You can't chase with countries. Who is responsible for these statements? I sold all of my Meta stocks after this new.
Is that a threat or a promise?
Yes they can. India removed tiktok. What could the citizens do?
Y'all know this isn't actually going to happen, right? They'll kick and scream that GDPR sucks (it does, hope you like those cookie banners you're now forced to blindly accept on every website you visit), but in the end they'll do what they have to to comply. Media circle jerk is what it is.
I need to find a ublock rule to hide those annoying fucking banners
GDPR sucks from a implementation perspective (very complex to implement - those cookie banners being only the simple side of it), but the best thing to happen from a user perspective.
Nice, but high sell low!
Bluff… there’s too much advertising money on the table. Facebook is a Top Tier Advertiser. They can scream, cry and threaten, they will never leave Europe.
Did you read the article? This was an acknowledgement of a potential threat in the future in an SEC filing. No exec made any public threats to anyone. The media picked it up and projected it as if Meta execs are publicly making threats
