Meta, the parent of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has been hit with yet another huge fine in Europe, this time over abusive practices in Facebook Marketplace. The European Commission announced that it would fine it €797.72 million — nearly $840 million — for breaching EU antitrust rules connected to how it ties its online classified ads service, Facebook Marketplace, creating “unfair trading conditions” for other providers of classifieds online.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to move to Europe.

It’s stuff like this that gives me a little comfort/hope living in Europe. There’s still lots of fucked shit, but at least there are some people in power that care at least that tiny bit.

I’ve never been to Amerika so I can’t say that it’s better here but I sure am terrified to visit the US, even as a tourist and especially with Trump back in power.
But I definitely want to visit at some point in my life, i’m still waiting for a better time though!
