This is awfully rude. It’s entirely possible to do business without violating local laws. Furthermore a government would be in dereliction of its duties if it did not enforce the laws that it has passed. If Meta doesn’t wish to comply with local laws it can just withdraw from the local market, as an Italian I’d be delighted if they packed up and left, heaven knows they’ve done nothing but harm to society.

Good, fine them into oblivion. That's what Facebook deserves for profiting off of the suffering they have caused the world.

I do feel many governments are exceedingly preoccupied with inventive ways of raising tax that isn't raising VAT and income tax directly, or raising prices, in ever more elaborate ways.

How many tens of billions do you need to fine a company before just banning it. Politicians will wax lyrical about big bad tech companies but judge them by what they do, not what they say.
