About 5 years ago, I was told Facebook uses a single global “write” datacenter, which works for their use case of read-mostly.

I’m not sure it this is still the case, but assuming it is, wouldn’t that make for a reasonable argument why it would be “impossible” (a.k.a. possible but non-trivial) to keep the data in the EU?

Yeah I remember something similar. It’s not just about coming up with a compliant architecture, but how to get there from what already exists. Of course authorities could say ”not our problem”.
