If people stopped relying on meta products that much over here I'd be fine. But no, they abuse these tools for convenience. I get it facebook - WhatsApp are convenient, but emails were always better for me. Why force everything into a WhatsApp group.

But it will accept quack political ad from enemy states.
For billionaires like Zuck in the USA, it's a very friendly state.
Damn, sounds like a good fucking regulation, when not even Facebook wants to violate it.
But in general, I feel like targetted political advertising is a big reason why democracies are currently going south. Previously, you had to pick a position as a politician.
You might've had different billboards in the poor part of town than in the rich part, but at least, it was public and could be reported on. With targetted advertising, you can promise opposing sides of a conflict that you're on their side, or at least not mention to one side what you're promising the other side.
The EU continues to be the home of the brave and the land of the free.
Good
