Data protection rules ‘completely out of control’, Meta tells Government
www.irishtimes.comEdit: 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

So when are we finally going to jail people for fraudulently trying to get opinions and laws changed?
These are companies committing fraud for their own benefit to the detriment of everyone. Why is this legal, , why isn’t this a criminal offense?
Jail this person, jail her direct superior, jail the entire c-suite of Meta (who all know about this, let’s make that very clear, it all comes down from them)
After that, let’s see how many other companies are willing to behave this shittily
1 million percent yes. Main thing that makes that happen is collective action
