> could we see Facebook banned from the EU? I wish they were banned from the EU, for a variety of reasons. As an American living in Croatia, I can affirm that social media works differently abroad and it is a lot more pleasant. Facebook is probably exploiting a loophole. The European Commission [1] should make an example out of them. "More than 90% of Europeans say they want the same data protection rights across the EU and regardless of where their data is processed." [2] Facebook will lose some in this, but they will reap some benefits, by trying the Germany route, or they would not be attempting this. They probably have some carte blanche (wild card) that they plan on playing. The EU should make an example of them. Facebook have always been in contempt of the GDPR, and are certainly perpetually violating it. Data privacy is not a joke. It is a legal framework in the EU. Also, it is about respect of others and not abusing their rights. Yes, it is a right in the EU: "The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights stipulates that EU citizens have the right to protection of their personal data."
