Meta warns EU it will run to Trump whenever Zuckerberg feels company is being unfairly punished
Zuckerberg’s new policy chief warns EU Meta will run to Trump whenever tech company feels it’s being unfairly punished by Brussels
You mean that if the bribe is interesting enough, the timeline can be arranged?
That's literally a threat to their sovereignty.
They should say "fuck that", block Meta, and seize all his European assets until he falls in line.
The EU is way too liberal to seize his assets. This will never happen. They'll gladly bow down to the US hegemony and the US fascist regime before they lift a finger. We'll just hear a bunch of strong words of condemnation (if we even hear anything at all lol) and that's about it.
I'm thinking Mark needs the EU more than they need him...
Yeah if they shut out Facebook I’m willing to bet a properly funded EU-based company could fairly quickly build up similar infrastructure. /srs
Pushing an open-source alternative like Friendica would be ideal but either way the globally anti-competitive nature of giant social corporations has gone on too long; a breaking point for innovation is overdue.
Given that the EU has accounts on Mastodon, why not check all the list and make every government in the EU have their own AP servers? Not only Mastodon but Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube, ...
"I'm telling Mom!!!"
Zuck is such a beta.
Also, they were banned with Russia and China, maybe start w there
I cannot for the life of me imagine being worth $200B and still being willing to kiss anyone's ass, let alone Trump's.
I think that’s the starting point anyway. WWIII, fought over Facebook 🤦♂️
Trump will not fight war against China or Russia, except “trade war” which is hurting Americans more than China. .
Cuckerberg. It’s right there.
In Russia because of Putin's opposition being there. Prob same in China.
This whole MAGA thing is one giant oedipus complex
EU should block Meta full stop.
God, what a bright, glorious day that would be.
Real big "my dad is stronger than your dad" energy
His friends would be embarrassed, if he had any
Death to Meta.
God these tech billionaires have such thin skin. Bunch of whiney bitch boys, the lot of 'em!
Fucking temper tantrum whiney little bitch.
Daddy T, I'm not getting my way, make them do what I want!
What a fucking man child.
I'm still having hard time processing that these are the kind of fuckers that the world has to bend its knees too. These billionaires are fucking parasites to all and need to go straight to the guillotine.
Holy cow Zucky literally calls him Big Daddy
This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.
Meta just asking to be fined in the EU.
Meta is the Karen of tech companies.
Time for anyone who doesn't live within the USA to dump all USA tech. No need to "go after" governments, if the people in those countries simply do not use any USA companies. We do not need META (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp), Musk (SpaceX, Twitter, Neuralink, SolarCity, Tesla), Bezos (Amazon, Whole Foods, Washington Post, Audible, IMDb, MGM,Twitch, Ring, Alexa), etc.
Luckily for Zuckerberg, then, Meta isn't unfairly punished. It's going to be punished quite fairly.
What a bitch.
These tech broligarchs are the whiniest fucking piss baby weenies on the planet. These are the representatives of American power right now. What a fucking disgrace.
It would be a shame if something happened to his yacht next time it goes to Europe https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9857511
Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny cunt.
Easily the dumbest and least innovative of the silicon valley megabillionaires.
Seriously, Facebook was not even the first Social Media of it’s type. Truly bizarre that this guy has earned so much.
Yes he is. He went in Joe Rogan recently and tried to pretend that he goes bow hunting and Rogan could tell he was lying and made him look like an idiot.
Rogan is one of those idolized dorks who occasionally, somewhat usefully, point out to their base that another idolized dork should be rightfully mocked.
It's so fucking weird that he would think that bow hunting is some kind of flex. I guess that's 'merica for ya.
I'd be really curious what he means about "masculine energy" at companies. As in, what is the actual manifestation of that? Do they go bow hunting as a team building thing?
Lol as a fan of archery I’d really like to see that.
