I can never really understand Facebook's approach to dealing with legal pressure surrounding its privacy practices.
Increased data privacy regulation could be an existential threat to Facebook's business model—but instead of trying to make a positive impression of itself by cooperating with lawmakers (and potentially helping to shape the regulation itself in the process), it misleads and stonewalls.[0]
What's Facebook's long-term plan here? Do they think they will be able to fend off governments forever and eventually become supranational?
