Yes, I'd really like to see Zuckerberg trying to explain to his shareholders that he quit one of their most lucrative markets just to stick it to the EU authorities. I don't think it would go that well to him. This threat is so empty it makes them look like total fools.
Save a vice click by reading: “Facebook is not threatening to withdraw from Europe,” a Facebook spokesperson said, adding that the court filing simply lays out how “Facebook, and many other businesses, organisations and services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US in order to operate their services.”
Still clutching at straws. "as well as being used to influence the results of votes across the region, including the U.K.’s decision to leave the EU."<p>Yeah right. This despite the influence of Obama, the BBC, the British establishment and their pro remain leaflet. As if Facebook made a difference.<p>In today's news. Facebook to be blamed for labour voters giving Boris Johnson an 80 majority in the last Election.
Pro tip to FB: arguments that would make a good case in a US court are probably going to be felt very differently in Europe.<p>In this case what FB is saying to regulators is: EU regulations are working.
Well, if you all guys here are EU citizens then interestingly you have same attitude against FB. Looks like EU should get clear green light from its society to stop people data harrasment.
