I have scant empathy for either side. Facebook has had - primarily historically - a bad track record. EU is being a terror & makes absurd demands. Facebook can't be a place to let people connect if each region needs it's own Facebook, and that's what the EU is very close to demanding right now. It's a pity it's such a sad pissing match of asymmetric powers, of giant state power Vs giant corporate power, but this kind of is the point of the very hackerly Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace. Governments are fools, incapable of regulation, and we see the bias they're using today to hunt big corps, but they're making their regions increasingly impossible to serve & help. They are creating conditions where those states will be disconnected from the Internet where the only way they can enforce their rules is to disconnect their citizens from (parts of) the internet.
