don't be insulting

> European Regulations are law.

Regulations have to be implemented and integrated into each country's laws. Countries may not have yet implemented GDPR

> their primary usage is advertising

I don't see where FB claimed that advertising is primary usage and others are secondary. i can infer from the text that they parceled as part of the "service promise"

> FB does not give all the data, the definition of what data

Facebook says they are GDPR compliant and i doubt they 'd say that without the consultation of at least one EU data authority (perhaps the irish?). https://www.facebook.com/business/gdpr

This is 100% wrong.

Right, that's correct, even though supplemental legislation is passed in each country following the regulation, including GDPR. IIRC there are 2 EU members that haven't done it yet.

Facebook pretends to be GDPR compliant because they have to. Obviously, they're not. Try downloading your data. Try deleting your account. It's all really iffy.

Of course they'll say they're compliant. They have to to be able to operate. But they are not. They are operating illegally within the EU and they should be shut down.

You are wrong again, Directives are ratified, Regulations apply verbatim. That said, the GDPR left some detail to each member state.

I am sorry buboard, I don't know whether you are affilated with FB, but that's not just how it works. They indeed, just claim it. That's why you pay for General Counsel.
