> US small business and organizations that I guarantee you have never heard of that law

Please, read the conversation in the proper context before hurling your opinion and creating a strawman. We were talking about businesses in Europe.

The trend started before it, but GDPR accelerated it.

But the transfer of local business and organization websites to Facebook is all but complete in the US, and the GDPR had little to nothing to do with it—convenience, cost, familiarity, and going where the customers are, were plenty of motivation. Why would Europe have been different?

[rglullis]

There are plenty of business in industries that already had their sites and solutions and had no need to go to Facebook.

Sure, it could it be that they would end in Facebook anyway. But there is no denying that the GDPR was a catalyst.

Do you have any proof of this claim?

You say that there "is no denying that the GDPR was a catalyst". Well, in what way did it catalyze it? Static pages do not need any GDPR compliance anyway.
