Won't happen. Mark my words: Will. Not. Happen.
And if it does, Facebook merely needs to make a few choice "donations" and the EU parlement will get flushed out and the new guys will magically forget about everything. ~~(Yeah I know lobbying in the EU is illegal, I don't care. Lobbying happens regardless of legality.)~~ Edit, apparently it's not illegal in the EU. Gave them too much credit, my bad.
You're probably right. Still, one can dream...
Lobbying is not illegal.
How is lobyying in the EU illegal. Do you even know about how lobbying works in EU? It is totally legal and regulated.
One can only hope!
I really doubt this will happen. They will just find another loophole, because the market is too lucrative to ignore.
Yeah, I'm skeptical as well. US would not be happy with EU blocking one of their major companies.
Rare westoid W if it actually happens
How can we help make this happen?
