Perfect example of corporate doublespeak.

"The EU regulatory environment is unpredictable" translates to "our products don't comply with regulation, and we'd rather not get fined". It's good that the fines are high enough and enforced now that companies are at least afraid of them.

Meta is still having issues complying with the GDPR, which has been in place for 6 years now. There's nothing "unpredictable" about it.

Sure. You just can't hoover up data without people's consent, as you normally do. What a concept.
