Laughable, how they put it.

data protection agencies in 11 European countries – and those agencies, led by Ireland, telling the Facebook giant to scrap the slurp.

They are making such a pathetic show about their own decision to observe the law.

And this is a law that is clearly and openly readable. You don't need legal experts to understand the basics, and you don't need any agencies telling you that you must observe it.

They are constantly giving the impression as if they were a gang of professional outlaws and only if somebody catches them redhanded, then they are able make a decision - one decision for one case, exceptipnally - to behave properly.

They are the worst of the worst, and I will never use an instance that voluntarily federates with Threads. I respect MS more than Meta, and that's a pretty incredible feat on the part of Meta.

Sure, but my point was that you don't have to go far to imagine such a thing. It's been here for ages.

And sure as fuck corrupt Ireland hosting US big tech should NOT be the one leading anything privacy related... It is a charade IMHO

Record speaks for itself.

EU commission had to tell Ireland to tax apple because Ireland can't ready the law properly...
