- sebzim4500 3y agoI don't think their business model does depend on breaking the law. They could stop operating in the EU and still make a profit, IIRC.
- Qwertious 3y agoAny social media platform that stops operating in the EU is leaving a void for competitors to take over the EU market. Once said competitor takes over the EU market, they would be large enough to pose a serious threat to Facebook in other markets.
- achenet 3y agoI'm pretty sure drug cartels, and more generally organized criminal groups, are pretty viable financially, at least short term. example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medell%C3%ADn_Cartel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medell%C3%ADn_Cartel
- littlestymaar 3y ago> viable […] short term. That's a nice oxymoron you got there.
- hfkwer 3y agoIs this a joke...? I think there would be fewer candidates for the CEO of FB if they risked being shot down by the DEA when they appear in public. Regardless, your comment isn't really relevant. I'm replying to the idea that FB has to break the law or they go bankrupt. Well, in that case, they should just go bankrupt. We shouldn't change the law to accommodate them.
