One might still wish to benefit from some of the undoubtedly useful aspects of Facebook without needlessly surrendering various rights to their data as enshrined in European law.
- nordsieck 15y agoOne might wish to eat one's cake and have it too. Not all wishes are reasonable.
- rhizome 15y agoAre you referring to Facebook wanting to operate under US laws in other countries?
- estel 15y ago"Expect this company that I'm dealing with to act within the law" is almost always reasonable.
- nordsieck 15y agoYes. But it is not reasonable to expect every (legal) service to be offered in every legal/regulatory environment. This is not to say that Facebook will not or should not offer its services in Europe. Simply that there are possible legal environments where Facebook would be legally allowed to offer its services, but where it would be economically unsustainable for it to do so... and that it is often quite difficult to understand these sorts of effects ahead of time. Edit: clarification
