“Daaaaaaaad European is choosing me again!”
Okay, that's not a direct bid from the head of the META JOEL KAPLAN World Affairs, the ghost of Munich's safety meeting on Sunday, but not far.
According to BloombergKaplan appeared in Europe for political leaders to know that Meta “will not be embarrassed.” From receiving President Donald Trump, if still faced with the suppression of the European Union, Kaplan told the Kaplan. Watching that it depends on Trump's management to decide whether the penalty of the European Union to the American technology company is not fair or not. But it will be afraid to make a sound if necessary
“When the company has been treated differently, and in a practice that is discriminated against them, it should be focused on the government's government's government,” Kaplan said during the meeting at the meeting. By Bloomberg– “While we want to work within the scope of the law that Europe has always passed, and we will always do, we will point when we think we are not fair.”

It seems that Meta picks up that message and is proceeding forward using it as a warning to the supervision agencies that may consider their work. Of course, there is no especially that, not the cost of Meta.
