Facebook should just block Europe. 'For your safety from your government which can imprison you for participating in this popular global website, we have blocked you from viewing this page'.

Given the chance that Facebook is a net positive on the world seems pretty low I suspect this would be a good thing for Europeans. WhatsApp would be problematic though since everyone uses it.

There are other alternatives to WhatsApp if they decide to go.

From the 2022 data I could find about Facebook's financials, it seems pulling out of the EU would cost Facebook 25% of it's revenue... Good luck to anyone attempting to justify that decision to shareholders.

Frustration aside that is not a viable option for a public company like Meta.

Limit them to just "verifiable content", so its a endless sea of bland posts from corporations and governments.

The idea that corporations and the government do not deceive has me raising eyebrows.

Over here, the only people still using facebook is the rock bottom of society, from anti-vaxxers over right-wingers to climate change deniers - surprisingly these groups have big overlaps.

Blocking FB would be an instant net-positive for our societies by eliminating an echo chamber and reduce FUD spread quite a bit.
