      Meta seemed to think that was a threat that would get the EU to cave to their demands and the regulators’ response was basically

      Willy Wonka sarcastically saying, “Stop. Don’t. Come back.”

          Until the EU don’t use the same tactic: follow the law or get out.

          And what Meta is not understanding is that if the EU will arrive at this point, the “follow the law” will be as pedantic as it can be. And maybe even a little more.

          Meta should learn from what happened during the Brexit’s negotiations.

            I hope you’re right, but the EU hasn’t had many overwhelming successes when it comes to pushing that particular boulder up the hill.

              Well, the micro-USB and USB-C or the GDPR examples are here. Maybe is a little more difficult with services since it is way faster to change a service then a law.
