EU threatens to fine Meta for saying Facebook is 'free'

I don't know how the EU expects Meta to make any money. It's pretty infuriating

The EU is protecting its citizens' privacy, as it should, and I find it immensely relieving that the EU has been making mostly sane decisions as far as privacy is concerned. It's not the EU's responsibility to figure out how make Meta's business model be profitable while respecting their users' privacy.

The EU, impotent and irrelevant, is primarily protecting is citizens from random shit they make up on the spot.

apple is getting bullied into complying with random rules.

twitter is threatened with two dozen fines for completely absurd shit.

That’s Meta’s problem for not being able to find a business model that complies with the law.

I don't think the EU has any expectations that Meta makes any money. That's for Meta to figure out. The EU is regulating the market and protecting European Citizens's rights, which is part of its mandate.
