Meta does not want to comply? Well, fine them to kingdom come, and if they still don't come to heel, block them at IP level.
Emphasis added. If the result of not signing a voluntary code of practice is massive fines and IP blocks, was it really "voluntary?"
If it is really only voluntary, it is a failure from the word go. Voluntary never worked with predatory buisinesses.
Well, direct your ire at the EU for that, I suppose. I'm just pointing out that calling for massive retribution against Meta isn't warranted here.
