Facebook sometimes submit to European laws. Facebook turned off their facial recognition after Germany made it illegal, registered used data has been made available for download among a few other cases.

Recently Facebook got fined 110 millions by France for lying to antitrust regulators during the vetting of the whatsapp deal, a few days before it got fined the maximum of 150k euros for repeated infringement to local privacy laws (maximum has since been raised to a percentage of the worlwide revenue) and a few days later it got a 3 millions fine in Italy for a similar privacy offense.

I'm not sure shadow profiles are covered by the legal obligation as facebook never acknowledged the existence of those for they are illegal in the EU.
