So much for the “pay or okay” model that the Facebook and Instagram parent recently introduced in the EU.

    Leaving the EU could be an option.

          Until the EU don’t use the same tactic: follow the law or get out.

          And what Meta is not understanding is that if the EU will arrive at this point, the “follow the law” will be as pedantic as it can be. And maybe even a little more.

          Meta should learn from what happened during the Brexit’s negotiations.

            I hope you’re right, but the EU hasn’t had many overwhelming successes when it comes to pushing that particular boulder up the hill.

      Meta seemed to think that was a threat that would get the EU to cave to their demands and the regulators’ response was basically

      Willy Wonka sarcastically saying, “Stop. Don’t. Come back.”

        To be fair, tech companies can do whatever they want in the EU, No party would ever want to be responsible for WhatsApp, Windows, or ChatGPT not being available anymore.

          Are you blind, deaf and dumb, or just living under a rock? The EU has been slapping fine after fine on scummy American companies.
