That’s literally a threat to their sovereignty.
They should say “fuck that”, block Meta, and seize all his European assets until he falls in line.
The EU is way too liberal to seize his assets. This will never happen. They’ll gladly bow down to the US hegemony and the US fascist regime before they lift a finger. We’ll just hear a bunch of strong words of condemnation (if we even hear anything at all lol) and that’s about it.
EU should ban Meta like the US is banning Tiktok
You mean that if the bribe is interesting enough, the timeline can be arranged?
“I’m telling Mom!!!”
EU should block Meta full stop.
What a fucking man child.
I’m still having hard time processing that these are the kind of fuckers that the world has to bend its knees too. These billionaires are fucking parasites to all and need to go straight to the guillotine.
I’m thinking Mark needs the EU more than they need him…
Yeah if they shut out Facebook I’m willing to bet a properly funded EU-based company could fairly quickly build up similar infrastructure. /srs
Pushing an open-source alternative like Friendica would be ideal but either way the globally anti-competitive nature of giant social corporations has gone on too long; a breaking point for innovation is overdue.
Given that the EU has accounts on Mastodon, why not check all the list and make every government in the EU have their own AP servers? Not only Mastodon but Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube, …
These tech broligarchs are the whiniest fucking piss baby weenies on the planet. These are the representatives of American power right now. What a fucking disgrace.
God these tech billionaires have such thin skin. Bunch of whiney bitch boys, the lot of 'em!
Meta just asking to be fined in the EU.
Fucking temper tantrum whiney little bitch.
Daddy T, I’m not getting my way, make them do what I want!
Death to Meta.
Meta is the Karen of tech companies.
Time for anyone who doesn’t live within the USA to dump all USA tech. No need to “go after” governments, if the people in those countries simply do not use any USA companies. We do not need META (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp), Musk (SpaceX, Twitter, Neuralink, SolarCity, Tesla), Bezos (Amazon, Whole Foods, Washington Post, Audible, IMDb, MGM,Twitch, Ring, Alexa), etc.
This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.
