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?

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.

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.

As much as I hate Facebook… No. Coz Europe would be excluded from the whole world. Sorry to say this but… Facebook is basically every line of communication. Also man… Oculus quest 2 is truly something special

Yes please get rid of them. But get rid of Twitter first. We don't need people to be just as brain dead as the ones in America.

I would be worried if YouTube left the EU, not Instagram or Facebook.

why are you saying FB may pull out of Europe when it not right they may pull out of the EU…the EU is not Europe

My only use for Meta products for while has been just subscribing to some instagram models 😀 Can't say I would be missing anything important if facebook left. As long as YouTube stays I'm fine.

These companies provide no social benefit and object to paying taxes on their massive profits. Their leaving Europe would be a positive step.

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 !!!!

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 !!
@iamgreyhorse
February 22, 2024 at 4:52 pm
If you are lucky you'll if FB would leave your country !!!!!! The world would be better off without FB or Meta ! We don't need a company that sells our data to anyone who will pay for it !

The population of EU is about 500,000,000. Zuckerberg will not easily give up the billions generated there. Corporate GREED at work. Thanks for this post.

America bans huawei for the same thing that Facebook and many others are doing sharing info with the government double standards time to level the playing field

It could be devastating for a lot of companies and people whom communicated their whole lives with those apps, as much as it's annoying to say cause I really hate those social platforms. Hoping they'll have to oblige to the rules than being scummy about it.

FB will do everything to stay as profitable as possible. so they will not withdraw (even if i would applause that) but bend law and such as much as possible to sta in EU. even if that means some servers in EU

Typical EU bureaucracy, this stupidity causes massive unemployment which is why the USA and the UK have 50% less unemployment than the EU

Can we just kick them out ? Facebook, MEta, Insta & Tik tok along with them. Giving other companies a chance
