@phenomlab lol as if Facebook or Instagram is an essential part of the life or doing anything useful…

that bluff clearly means that Zuck is not planning to respect anyone’s privacy at all…

@crazycells exactly. I mean, just consider the impact of them leaving Europe. All those poor people who can’t post pictures of their dinner or check into a venue…

I use it now and again (not even logged in this year yet) to keep in touch with family but I couldn’t care less to see the back of it.

It’s been the source of more harm than good for me personally especially my love life 🤪.

well he’s gone!

It will make us a vacation and less stupid!!

May be against Europe, but I hope it will not bend to this kind of threat.

@downpw Exactly. The GDPR is there for a reason, and is law. If you choose not to comply, you are either fined a maximum of €20m, or four times the annual turnover of any parent company (whichever is greater). Just because you think you are untouchable, you aren’t.

If you don’t like the rules, don’t play the game.
