German Economy Minister Robert Habeck and his French counterpart Bruno Le Maire expressed little concern that Meta would completely cease Facebook and Instagram activities in Europe. Both addressed the issue during a joint press conference offered this Monday in Paris.
“After I got hacked, I’ve lived without Facebook and Twitter for four years, life is fantastic,” Habeck said.
“Surely we live very well without Facebook and that we would live very well without Facebook,” Le Maire seconded, stressing that the digital giants must understand that the European Union will resist their “excessive power”, assert its sovereignty and protect personal data from its population.
