The EU DPO is going to find that Meta doesn't comply with the regulation and it's going to hit them with huges fines. It's more productive than blocking it. If they don't pay up, the court will most probably order asset freezes and cessation of operations in the EU, including blocking thir services. They are legally required to keep EU users' data in the EU anyway.

- jnsaff2 4y agoThats what FB would want. Remember when they got the biggest fine ever, like 5B (EUR or USD can't remember) and the moment this decision was made public the stock went up as traders had thought the fine is even bigger.
- Nextgrid 4y agoIt took 4 years for Facebook's data collection and GDPR bypass mechanism to be ruled illegal. Give it another 4 more and maybe we'll actually see a decent fine? > They are legally required to keep EU users' data in the EU anyway. It's not about what you are legally required to do, it's about what happens in practice when you don't. In this case, not much happens, so why would they bother complying?
