Oh yes please make Meta pull all their crap out of the EU. I can’t wait for it!
Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy

The EU is clueless. They think they are going to bypass the advertising model and that users are going to pay hundreds of dollars for all the services. They will continue to fall behind the US and China and they don’t have a plan. The is going to be backlash when news organization pull out just like Canada.

I’d be concerned when other services. Facebook is irrelevant in the larger policy push.

What services do you think are worth letting them violate my rights to my personal information?
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Plenty. I don’t want to pay full price. YT, TikTok, and insta are great. I use sheets/docs for some minor personal stuff too.

Are you so deluded to think that there are no other service provider in EU ?
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 4 months ago
What’s going to replace YT? Or insta? You going to go door to door to have everyone convert to signal?

It’ll be a service useful to you some day 🤷♂️

what scenario are you imagining where any of meta's product offerings are useful to me?
towerful@programming.dev 4 months ago
I always thought Facebook was useful to me. Until one day I decided to stop. A week later I deleted my account.
Turns out Facebook wasn’t useful to me.
And I can’t see a future where it will be.WhatsApp is currently useful to me.
And considering EUs current ruling, I imagine there will be WhatsApp compatible apps soon. Besides, if meta leaves the EU, everyone will move to telegram or signal or whatever.So no, I don’t think it will be useful to me one day. And I’d be quite happy to see it go

While WhatsApp is certainly useful, there are better alternatives, and a pullout would lead to bigger adoption of those. I think WhatsApp has its user base mainly because of inertia.
All hypothetical, I don’t think Meta is gonna give up the EU market any time soon.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, worrying that I don’t see as many ads as the Yanks do.
