Nonsense. Meta has invested enormous amounts of effort into EU compliance and lobbying. Their President of Global Affairs is Nick Clegg, former Deputy PM of the United Kingdom and one of the best EU-connected Brits that money can buy.

I believe that Zuck views EU regulations as an opportunity to build a moat because they can afford to comply and they've patiently laid the groundwork, whereas rapidly growing upstarts like TikTok will find it hard to spin that up from nowhere.
