> FB is required to provide a service at a loss?

Yes. Although how much of a loss it would be is debatable. Unless you upload lots of media, the costs of providing you the service top out at a few cents a month, so it can trivially be subsidised by even untargeted ads.

> You can use EU social networks - oh wait, there aren't any!

Maybe the long-term objective is that we actually get some social networks that are sustainable without misusing people's personal data?
