Meta's Joel Kaplan says Meta “won't shy away” from taking up its case with President Trump if the EU uses its rules to unfairly target Meta's digital products
Note Vance referenced content moderation in his speeches. — Europe is their 2nd largest market... … Renee DiResta / @noupside : This is going to be corporation versus country. A sovereignty fight similar to the one bt 🇧🇷 & X. — These are private companies w/profit motive. Not public squares. — The idea that Govts can't regulate their markets is strange to most ppl. That's why Jordan et al want to reframe regs as “censorship”. Renee DiResta / @noupside : X just lost a DSA court case in 🇩🇪, is supposed to turn over data on the German election. Article 40 gives vetted researchers data access. — Congress introduced several transparency bills in 🇺🇸. So it's not beyond the pale! But now CEOs will fight regulation w/Trump's backing. … Mastodon: Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life@mas.to : The EU fined Meta $1.3 billion because when you visit Meta sites in Europe, your IP address is sent to a server which is in America. Despite this being how thousands of U.S. websites work, only Meta was singled out for a fine. — Do with that information what you will. — https://www.bloomberg.com/... … Ian Betteridge / @ianb@mastodon.well.com : Wah wah wah those nasty Europeans not letting us exploit personal data for private gain. — https://www.bloomberg.com/... X: Florian Mueller / @florian4gamers : Meta is on the right side of history. Unlike the censorship and regulatory radicals in Brussels who are just afraid of people talking about all that's wrong with, in and about Europe.
