The Verge, writing about Richard Allan, Facebook’s chief of public policy, and his comments on the fragmentation of European privacy regulations:
He believes that operating as a pan-European business should be done subject to one coherent set of pan-European rules instead of having to “comply with 28 independently shifting national variants.” And you know what? He’s absolutely right.
That’s myopic bullshit. While I agree that Europe needs more coherent regulation, I’m sure Facebook was very okay with the EU’s regulatory fragmentation when it opened up shop in Ireland.
