The way developed countries handle that is through regulation (specifically, fines). That changes the cost equation.

Eg. Germany passed a law that fines Facebook if they don't comply with German hate speech laws.

It sounds as if these developed countries might be quick to throw out the baby with the bathwater

I'm not sure that analogy fits here; I'm not sure of the size of the fines, but they'd have to be pretty hefty for Facebook to decide to just leave Germany over them
