Goal says that Trump will be seen if the EU is still bad

“Daaaaaaaad, Europeans are bothering me again!”

Very well, that is not a direct event by the head of World Meta Affairs, Joel Kaplan, who spoke at the Munich Security Conference on Sunday, but is not far away.

According to BloombergKaplan approached Europe so that the political leaders there know how to “not shy away” by involving President Donald Trump if he continues to face repressions at the hands of the European Union. According to reports, Kaplan told the audience that it depends on the Trump administration to decide whether EU penalties against US technology companies are unfair, but will not be afraid of screaming if necessary.

“When companies are treated differently and in a discriminatory way against them, so that should be highlighted to the native government of that company,” Kaplan said during a panel at the conference, By Bloomberg. “While we want to work within the limits of the laws that Europe has approved, and we will always do so, we will point out when we believe we have been unfairly treated.”

Meta has certainly been in the sight of the EU, accumulating More than $ 3 million in fines for violations of the General Regulation of Data Protection (GDPR) alone, and faces a Continuous research That claims that he could not protect minors on their platform. Earl this month, Meta announced it would open your Facebook market Platform to third -party competitors in the EU after an antimonopoly fine. On the other hand, goal could simply stop maintaining monopolistic control over platforms and violation laws if you do not want to deal with the consequences. Only a free idea for Zuckerberg and the gang.

The most notable is Kaplan that indicates a new posture when it comes to international regulators. The company has certainly expressed its discontent with the sanctions that it has faced in the past and has gone so far as for dispute some. But now it is trying a new strategy: threatening to cry with Trump.

It is not the most surprising movement. Zuckerberg has gone to Trump since he began to probe well before the 2024 elections. After Trump’s victory, Zuck made a point to go down and Visit it in Mar-A-Lagobegan Change the moderation policies of the platform be more favorable for Trump’s agenda, and Promoted KaplanA republican political operation for a long time.

Trump has also given some early signs that he could go back attempts to punish US companies as a goal. While speech In the World Economic Forum last month, the president said that the EU should not be fined at American companies, describing it as “a tax form” and saying “we have some very large complaints with the EU.”

It seems that Meta picked up that message and is carrying it forward, wielding it as a warning against regulators who could be considering doing their job. I certainly can’t have that, especially at the expense of the finish line.
