You could make an argument that the malware that encrypted your /home folder is also "just a way to pay the bills".

In many jurisdictions that's illegal. EU is saying FB's approach is also illegal unless they make some key changes.

Personally, I hope FB just quits Europe.

That's what I would do: quit Europe. FB is part of life of millions of people. They would cancel this GDPR thing in a day to save their FB experience. Or at least add an exception to GDPR for FB.
