Wish we could have some of those rules here in the US…

“Blaming”? No one wants them to begin with…
“No one”
They don’t give a shit what their users want. Their users are part of the product they sell. Their customers are their advertisers. This is bad news for political advertisers and their investors, both of whom absolutely want political advertising on the platform. This is a good thing. It would be a much better thing if people would just stop using Meta products altogether
Is Meta threatening us in the EU with a good time?
EU is threatening Meta with a bad time
this is a good thing though??
Thanks to bloc’s new rules I guess. Fuck meta.
A fantastic example of why regulation can be good and is often necessary. You can‘t leave tech corporations or even most corporations on their own accord. They need a short leash or they‘re going to tear humanity apart.
Damn stupid me! Once again thought this was #goodnews
While pushing right wing and Russian „news“ I assume.
They probably think this will persuade the politicians to review these rules, as they can’t reach their target audiences anymore. I hope they see the overwhelming support for this decision, but I’m not sure if I’m in a bubble. I only see positive reactions so far. There was 1 critical article in the news, but just stating facts, no opinions. I think it’s great. Less brainwashing going on during the election cycles from now on since Facebook in particular allowed for some really specific demographic targeting.

The regulations impose additional requirements for a reason - because political advertising can be extremely dangerous. If it’s a question of no political advertising or opaque, microtargeted political advertising that can’t be investigated later, then it’s an easy choice.
Fantastic news. Get the fuck out, Zuck
Oh shit, really?
That’s really a pity that luckily for me I’m no longer giving an absolute metric fuck about meta and any of its shit content or its servi…spywares since 10 years at least already, and also I haven’t the slightest idea of changing my plans in that regard.
There is nothing to blame about except this should have come earlier and everywhere.
