It’s the moment of truth for Zuckerberg’s Trump bet / EU fines are looming against Meta, but Zuckerberg has made some powerful friends.

@deoliveira @zaxvenz Agreed.. E.g. WhatsApp works as a public service and should be regulated as such. The reason for not leaving is a coordination problem. States are good solving such problema.

I hope they really get fined hard this time. Unfortunately the "pay to consent" feature is easily removed while the larger problem (though harder to grasp judicially) of election interference, abusing personal data, hateful content, disinformation - remains. And imho we should be looking much harder at X in that regard anyhow.
