They're trying hard to make me believe you too. But please note that it's not just anti-trust cases, but also privacy cases / right to be forgotten / partnerships with newspapers / etc... When the NSA scandal was everywhere in the press, Orange (french telecom operator, former public company) said there was no need for the french administration to spy on them because they were already cooperating outside the judiciary system everyday. Yet the headlines were not about the French administration spying on its citizens, but about the NSA and the risks you take by using Facebook. That's so pathetic. Now the French government has passed a law to make it easier to spy on its own citizens. And the UK is following not far behind.

You may have noticed that the US media was comparably silent about US agencies. German media is relatively silent on German involvement (but reported on the US and France). That's just what the media needs to do to keep getting interviews with high ranking politicians. I doubt that the approach is to try to hurt the US, but to limit the impact on domestic relations to public officials. As for Facebook, that's one of the things that users _can_ do something about (however little the impact of such action is). If there were a French Facebook, the same could apply there as well - but besides Daily Motion (which is public by default), what is there in France where people could adapt their behavior?
