Meta says it won’t sign Europe AI agreement, calling it an overreach

I'm surprised that most of the comments here are siding with Europe blindly?

Am I the only one who assumes by default that European regulation will be heavy-handed and ill conceived?

If I've got to side blindly with any entity it is definitely not going to be Meta. That's all there is.

I mean, ideally no one would side blindly at all :D

That's the issue with people's from a certain side of politics, they don't vote for something they always side / vote against something or someone ... Blindly. It's like pure hate going over reason. But it's ok they are the 'good' ones so they are always right and don't really need to think

Sometimes people are just too lazy to read an article. If you just gave one argument in favor of Meta, then perhaps that could have started a useful conversation.

Perhaps… if a sane person could find anything in favor of one of the most Evil corporations in the history of mankind…

You need some perspective - Meta wouldn't even crack the top 100 in terms of evil:
