Zuck is not threatening to starve Europeans of insta, Zuck is threatening to take away the most expedient propaganda tool a government ever had. Zuck is overtly threatening the political class that relies on his psychotic technology.

Exactly this, I wonder why everyone is missing it.

Even if politicians had a spine the far more likely thing would be Facebook withholding their propaganda services until any undesirable legislation is rolled back, not saying goodbye to half a billion users.

No, it's more than that, it's threatening to take away a large portion of the bread and circuses too.
