This would be very cool.
Also, Nick Clegg – who he?
Clegg warned that “a lack of safe, secure and legal international data transfers would damage the economy and hamper the growth of data-driven businesses in the EU, just as we seek a recovery from Covid-19.”

@leonp “Sharing data between countries and regions is crucial for the provision of its services and targeted advertising, Meta stressed.”
No surprise at Zuck’s motivations here. 🙄

@gregmoore You mean you don't want Mark Zuckerberg to know your every action as you travel to other countries? 😂

@simonwoods Incredible, right?! There's a theory that ads eventually turn all social networks into crappy malls and Zuckerberg seems to be supporting just that.

@gregmoore I can imagine the meeting at Meta: "Here's my pitch everybody: the world... as one giant mall. 😍"
