MODERATORS
And water is wet.
Meta has never and will never comply with GDPR in any capacity and the Irish DPO will be more than happy to dish out more fines if stuff like this comes to light.
Meta and however many other of the giant tech companies.
Often it's cheaper for these services to take fines than it is to change up their operation, by an order of magnitude.
Sidenote - Hey, been a minute.
GDPR fines can scale to a company's yearly revenue. They can absolutely get in more trouble than it's worth if they keep blatantly shitting on the GDPR. Keep reporting them whenever you see these violations.
Water has the ability to make things wet but is not wet in and of itself.
