You do realize any potential Facebook alternative will face the same problems, further entrenching Facebooks market position.

This even applies to federated social networks like matrix - a EU server can't easily send messages containing personal data to US ones without at least signing an contract with the required "standard contractual clauses" (technically an contract is always required).

is that really the case? - i.e. what if private citizens run the servers - i don't see why these rules would apply to them.

Its possible you will have eu only fb, Asia only fb which would not be such a bad thing. Not only would the new entities break monopoly, but also be more compliant than haughty American tech companies with their billions of daus

Just stop tracking everything people do online and show ads based on content, none of these laws would have been necessary in the first place.
