Facebook is operating in Germany, among other countries. If they want to earn money in Germany, they need to obey to German laws and regulations, obviously.

  With the internet being the poorly regulated series of tubes it is, they argue they're operating and earning money solely in Ireland, not Germany. Whether the judge will be amused by this, we'll see.

    They operate offices in Hamburg and Berlin. They specifically target German advertisers. They won't be that stupid to even attempt that argument.

      They already have argued that the datacentre is in Ireland and therefore not subject to this ruling. Again, we await a jurisdiction ruling.

      They did – publicly, at least. We'll see what they argue in court.
