> There is no EU regulation forcing Meta to ban anything.
They didn't claim that. Many EU regulations don't actually ban the thing, but make it more expensive, cumbersome, risky, etc... This has a similar effect as censorship, but doesn't imply there is some law that say "it is illegal to say X".

In practice, it doesn't seem to make much difference:
> Propensity score matching and regression analyses of the National Inmate Survey are used to examine individuals’ experiences and perceptions of environmental quality in public versus private prisons across key domains of prison life, with an emphasis on needs, behaviors, victimization, and attitudes. No differences are identified for women. Males in private prisons are more likely than men in public prisons to perceive there to be inadequate staffing and are less likely to report maintaining ties with people outside of prison. Men in private prisons are also less likely to report crowding to be an issue.

Taking it to a logical extreme is good practice for thinking from first principles, but always pair it up with going to the logical extreme in the other direction. That might look something like: "would you really eat at a restaurant owned by a habitual jaywalker?".

Applying equally to all the industry is a characteristic of good regulation, not of regulation tout court.

The U.S. Constitution is older than the current constitution of every EU member state and has remained continuously in force longer than any of them.

Furthermore, even if the trade deficit was something to worry about, why should the food and drug safety bureaucracies be the ones to determine that kind of economic policy?

I've been working through Nand2Tetris with my 13-year-old son, but the official hardware simulator was pretty overwhelming. That's why I built a browser version that tests the first 2 chapters, is simpler, and has a tighter feedback loop with more helpful hints.
Let me know what you think, especially if you are young or teaching young people. If you have any feedback, open an issue here or comment below: https://github.com/jaysonvirissimo/build-your-own-alu.
If CPR is the best option available, they will tell you that and walk you through how to do it properly.
They will also ask you relevant questions that would normally be obvious, but might not be if you are in a panic like "are they laying in the street and might be run over? First drag them off of the road before starting CPR", etc...
