Honestly, without these monopolies, yes it will suck for a bit but it would allow us to essentially rebuild the internet. It sounds exciting more than anything.

Meta might as well ban the usage of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and of course the Meta Quest headsets from being used in the EU. Oh, and all Google products as well (maybe except YouTube). We are so close to a new tomorrow.
I guess EU citizens are just gonna move to Norway if they wanna use those services (I’d assume VPN usage would be blocked as well)
