    I have a question. Why do we see this every alternate week about META breaking a law, not agreeing to standards, hacking their way with loopholes and legislation. And STILLLL nothing ever bad happens to Meta?

    Why are they still existing? If any company causes depression to teenagers, Creates or aides genocide, Misuses data, How are they still existing?

    Are we daft? Or are the lawmakers? Or the government? Meta is evil. Period. They cant keep getting away with this.

      One part of this is jurisdiction. I’m being very simplistic here and only have a vague sense of the picture, really (my own prejudice - I find just about everything about meta abhorrent)

      They are based in a country that’s solely oritentated towards liberty - not fairness or common sense.

      There are other parts, of course, like lobbying, tax breaks and so on, but a big part is because they’re not based in the EU.
