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.
