For the EU to really care about privacy they should go a step further and also include and ban TikTok in Europe over the same 'privacy concerns' since that is far worse than Meta.<p>Might as well go after that before the problem becomes even worse than it already is. It has been known that like Meta, TikTok abuses the privacy of its own users for the benefit of its so-called and worshipped 'recommendation algorithm'.
> A new transatlantic data deal is being finalized and is expected to come before the summer. But that could be too late, as it would leave Meta without a proper legal basis to transfers data it holds on Europeans in between the regulators' decision and the new deal coming into effect.<p>If its even legal, because Schrems isn't going to back down any time soon.
TBH. I'm with facebook on this. It makes me sad to agree with them. But yep a blackout seems the only logical way to deal with these laws.<p>I've been part of a few projects where we blackout EU locals. Just not worth the risk.
