while they may have a point their arguments are not well articulated
> Europe’s strict privacy laws
actually it's EU's privacy regulation
> Facebook openly admitted that it has been collecting and processing data without users’ consent
They said that they ve been collecting WITH consent, at least with their definition of consent
> To prove that no one ordered advertising from Facebook, we conducted a neutral study by the Austrian Gallup Institute. The result is devastating for Facebook: Only 4% of users want advertising,
... And i bet only 4% want to pay taxes too. polls are not legal documents. Also, "wanted advertising" is very different from "accepted advertising as part of the terms"
> Facebook does not give users a full copy of all their data
I believe facebook does give all their personal data,but maybe they are looking for derived data that facebook has stored for them? that's not personal data and it can be particularly tricky if it has been combined with other people's data , for example to train a neural net
In any case, i don't think facebook cares too much anymore and will just pay another yearly fine for operating in the EU. Even if FB asks for consent in every second page, people will click yes.
