Which is the whole point of the subsequent thread. FB is not just gonna ditch EU, nor are they going to be destroyed by a new regulation.

They got out of China which is also quite big. I just wonder what would replace it if they withdraw.

They're not going to withdraw. Best-case scenario, they stay in the EU but stop abusing users' data there so much, but still make a profic. Worst-case scenario, they're able to weasle their way out of having to change anything.

The worst case would be FB never being compliant. Withdrawing from the markets would be the best case scenario, given non-compliance.
