Didn't Meta just claim that they were all in favour of government regulations? Now they're whining and crying they have to follow the law. Good riddance to bad rubbish if they go through with it. Now if only we could get them to leave Canada.
They probably assumed that they would be the ones writing those regulations, and I think that's a fair assumption for the US market. Monopolies are big fans of regulatory capture, and politicians benefit greatly from them. The EU seems (to me, an outsider) to be more resistant to that sort of influence; at least from corps based in the US.
It helps that EU is still not a single country, so monopolies influence work differently across a collection of countries.
No. They work the same. They just need more people.
