@leonp “Sharing data between countries and regions is crucial for the provision of its services and targeted advertising, Meta stressed.”

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

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