    I will only believe it when I see it. It has been a few years since the EU is threatening a ban and meta threatening to leave the EU, so far none has committed any action.

      EU didn’t ban them because Meta complied. (the data protection bill, GDPR)

      They will comply again, unfortunately. We could use a ban.
