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 feel the same but about the EU. After all, I have a choice whether to use Meta or not. There is no escaping the EU sort of leaving my current life.

Meta famously tracks people extensively even if they don't have an account there, through a technique called shadow profiles.
