Edit: Based on the article: Facebook has recently gotten an Ex-Meta Member into the Data Protection Agency of Ireland near end of 2024. They were sued for 250 million euro. They are back now actively trying to push for lower data protections in the EU publicly saying "It will hurt Meta"

Edit 2: The link was free when I read it but they changed it to subscribed so not even worth going into the link now. If you have alternative ways to read it then I recommend that. Sorry for not being able to find better sources

You know, this.

My bad to both of you. I added details in text description.

This source also seems to not be great anymore since they changed the article into paid tier. If you have alternative ways of reading it you can still copy the link
