For years Facebook (now Meta) and the EU have been locked in a legal battle over how the company handles data transferred out of Europe. With Meta threatening to pull its products & services if things can’t be resolved, could Facebook really leave Europe?

In this video, we’re going to take a look at the ruling in France and explain why, while it might be good news for Le Pen personally, it is actually probably bad news for the National Rally and thus the French right.

Hey TLDR EU viewers! We are TLDR's newest channel (our first video came out less than 2 hours ago) but I think you should give us a sub anyway! If you're interested in this kind of video, about the intersection of politics, power, culture and business then I really think you'd enjoy TLDR Business… I am biased though…

They’re not welcome in most places, particularly the EU. Nobody wants facebook, and small businesses are fed up with Meta using them as justification for Meta knowingly violating laws. Big tobacco is the really the right comparison.

Europe will not be worse off if Meta leaves.
@lpm8284
February 22, 2024 at 4:52 pm
As a European, I couldn't care less about Meta, I don't use their social networks because they're toxic as hell. In fact, it's a good thing. It will create even more jobs in the IT industry and we will finally have the opportunity to develop and grow a social network with more ethical algorithms.

European citicezns should be allowed to vote on this in some sort of public referendum. They would all voted this crap out of EU! I'm European and use Insta and facebook only sporadically…and am totally ok with it being shut down in Europe rather than giving creep Zuckerberg the right to our private data to be used and exploited as he wishes and I'm glad EU regulators are respecting our privacy laws! F them! there will always be other networks and way to connect, what Meta is doing in US is criminal!!!! I know businesses that rely on their online presence will suffer more but they will adapt with time.

All you people think we need Facebook or Meta, need to have their head examined !!! Does anyone remember a time, when we did not have the internet ?? We were better off ! Is this world so full of morons' that don't realize we have been played with, by other beings, who want to trick us into worshiping them as Gods, they wish to trick us into being their slaves, willingly !! That way is legal by their standards !!!!

February 22, 2024 at 4:52 pm
If Facebook and Meta want to leave your country ! Then count your blessings and let them leave !!! I bet they don't want to leave ! They will probably fight to be able to stay !!! It is them that need us, we don't need them !!
