> Earlier this month, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg told Reuters in an interview that his company would apply the EU law globally “in spirit,”

How would they apply the law? They can't be prosecuted if they fail to uphold the same law. Saying "we'll apply the law in spirit" is just moral posturing IMO.

Asking them to apply an EU law globally is posturing as well. Both the question and answer are nonsensical.

I'm not saying they should apply the law. I'm just saying that FB shouldn't say things like this (and in the future, they'll just backtrack with a "we didn't mean that" or some other spinon we're sorry)

Interesting though as they are selling to the rest of the world from Ireland in the first place to tax dodge.

And EU isn't totally ok with this either. No wonder Ireland got hickups when UK voted to leave EU.
