Yes! A move like this would be very interesting experiment to see how power on Internet shifts and what's next to come

Title seems misleading in a way that the article itself seems to acknowledge, or at least the interpretation seems construed as a threat instead of a plea.<p>&gt; &quot;In the event that the Applicant [Facebook] were subject to a complete suspension of the transfer of users&#x27; data to the US, as appears to be what the DPC proposes, it is not clear to the Applicant how, in those circumstances, it could continue to provide the Facebook and Instagram services in the EU,&quot;

They get around 25% of their revenue from Europe so they are willing to give that up for what?!

If only they would leave us alone. Seems unlikely.

How do we get this to happen in the US - hopefully before Facebook incites the next Civil War.

Ridiculous argument. All they need to do is to split their data centers into US and Europe and store all data for Europe in Europe only. This will likely mean a hard graph boundary between profiles in Europe&#x2F;Everywhere Else. But still you would be able to communicate, add friends, etc.<p>Lame threat that hopefully the EU will call upon.
