One thing EU can do is to fine FB, you don't need to censor FB, but until FB does not cooperate just charge 10% of revenue. (and increase 1% every year)

Problem solved

GDPR allows fines up to 4% of global(?) revenue (not profit). That’s a pretty significant chunk of change for companies the size of Facebook and Alphabet.
