    Why meta is not fully banned in the EU is beyond me :)

    I know banning or forcing meta to obey laws in the US is impossible due to bribes (political contributions), but in the EU I would think meta could at the very least be reined in.

      Why do you think so many big tech companies are registering subsidiaries in Ireland? (Aside form the "Double Irish" mechanism that used to be in vogue more than a decade ago).

      Plenty of hands seem to be well greased over there given how long it takes to issue fines for clear&cut violations of EU regulation.
