Facebook should just block Europe. 'For your safety from your government which can imprison you for participating in this popular global website, we have blocked you from viewing this page'.
- tbarbugli 3y agoFrustration aside that is not a viable option for a public company like Meta.
- mcphage 3y agoYes, but unironically.
- willcipriano 3y agoLimit them to just "verifiable content", so its a endless sea of bland posts from corporations and governments.
- concordDance 3y agoThe idea that corporations and the government do not deceive has me raising eyebrows.
- f1shy 3y agoBut that is legal… hehe
- simonbarker87 3y agoGiven the chance that Facebook is a net positive on the world seems pretty low I suspect this would be a good thing for Europeans. WhatsApp would be problematic though since everyone uses it.
- elforce002 3y agoThere are other alternatives to WhatsApp if they decide to go.

- anonyfox 3y agoOver here, the only people still using facebook is the rock bottom of society, from anti-vaxxers over right-wingers to climate change deniers - surprisingly these groups have big overlaps. Blocking FB would be an instant net-positive for our societies by eliminating an echo chamber and reduce FUD spread quite a bit.
