Its about time Facebook faced the music.
The giant tech companies have enjoyed eye-watering revenues thanks to the magic of network effects and the dopamine boost that social networking gives the human brain.
By keeping their support/human costs low, they've delivered massive profits.
Now we start to see the pushback. For Google, it was Europe's right to be forgotten.
Now for Facebook, its the concept that its simply not acceptable to allow hostile foreigners to use your platform to disrupt political debate.
Its time these guys paid their way. Their profits have always been fuelled by very deliberately staying away from this hard stuff. That can't go on.
