It'd be more like vigorously investigating a kidnapping case in a wealthy, high-profile neighborhood while ignoring kidnappings in other places.

Which, granted, is something that happens but people largely regard this kind of unequal protection of the law to be a bad thing.

I don't see the point of this sort of "but johnny did it too" line of argument. So authorities are looking into a report of widespread abuse. Where's the relevance of not advertising how they may or may not look into other small-scale and lower-profile cases? In fact, aren't resources better spent by going after the single largest and more eggregious source of abuse that has a global reach and has been continuously abusing its position for over a decade?

By all means name all the social media sites that are breaking the law on this scale and the EU is ignoring. I'll be sure to contact my local ombudsman.
