Then don't use facebook.

x restaurant will only let you eat if you show your bank account details beforehand "to make sure youll be able to pay afterwards". obviously you wont go to that restaurant, but maybe thats the workplace restaurant (environment forces you to use it).

that doesnt sound good, no?

privacy laws must be enforced

You just described all buffet/AYCE restaurants in the world.

all buffets will know my salary if i eat there?

did facebook require your salary level before signing up? Also it is not like buffet doesn't ask for your email/phone number to register in order to get in line, they do.

facebook will track all my interactions, make a profile of my habits and sell them to bidders. before signing up.

i dont see how needing a email/phone number to register for something is related to anything were talking about.

there are plenty of places where you pay before you get your food

yeah but in my example they dont make you pay beforehand: they want to know how much do you make, how much you spend, what places you spend on... is an example of being forced to comply with abusive clausules

No, it's the other way around. Either FB offers something that aligns with the law, or they GTFO. Why it's the me(g|t)acorp that sets rules and not elected governments? Because it's their product? Because we the people are the product and not people?

Good, so EU can go and ban Facebook operating in EU straight up, not dancing around privacy.

The EU protectionism around internet service is due to its lack of competitiveness in the whole internet economy. Or they might just outright start this trade war with US, and see how it goes.

What you're saying is thay exploitation is profitable for the exploiters, making them more "competitive" on the world stage. All I can say in response is that so was slavery.

> EU can go and ban Facebook

EU and Member States thereof can also use less drastic means to compel people and companies to follow the law.

BTW we also retired capital punishment for people. We don't need 0/1 either-or constructs in law.
