So Europe has new privacy rules but facebook is not going to conform to those rules. Instead it said people don't have to be on facebook. I really hope Europe goes in hard because facebook clearly doesn't care.

Maybe they'll make an alternative social media website. Who knows.

On one hand, Facebook IS right. You do NOT have to be on there. It's just people enjoy being on there (for... whatever reasons, I don't see the reason myself XD), on the other... as was said... well, Money talks.

@Lady Luna: Unfortunately many schools and workplaces force you to be there. When I was studying we had to make a Facebook so we could keep up with each other in photography class.
And Facebook knows that all to well.
@Tuijp: Yep but then they need the rights to the name and tgm doesn't want to let it go at the moment.
@SirLionelNigelConrad: They are going to move all data of people to America so that they have to deal with american privacy laws and not the europeen ones. They really don't care at all.
@Tuijp: Maybe they can.
Yeah, I don't Need to be on facebook. and I'm not. Other people need to stop asking me to join. Still, I don't see that as a "need".
I'm all for Europe outlawing Facebook if they're not gonna abide by the laws. idc. my life is fine without it and there are plenty of other alternatives.

I admit to using it once in a while- but it's true, no one fully 'has' to be. That said, perhaps because I don't understand international privacy laws when dealing with a company that I'm pretty sure is set up specifically in my less-than-stellar area... I'm not sure if Facebook has to actually abide by laws in another country unless they're in the country. I don't know how their data banks and such work, but many companies set their headquarters up in countries with lower taxes and as such have to abide specifically by that country's laws. So... It may also depend on where the HQ is. I'm really not sure.
Either way... There are probably better social media sites in other countries. I'd like to join some of those myself. xD
