Over the past four days, I've watched about thirty minutes (bits and pieces) of the Facebook CEO meeting with the EU folks. To be honest.....this meeting (hard to even describe as a meeting) would put Mark Zuckerberg center-stage to the EU.
My humble observation over the Zuckerberg performance? You could tell he was extremely aggravated and uncomfortable. He couldn't make them happy. But to be humble here....this wasn't geared to be a meeting where the EU folks could be made happy in any fashion.
My general perception is that they are gearing up for a massive 200-page regulation on social media, and everyone throughout Europe will be sitting there by spring 2019....when it's finally delivered to the public, and they won't be able believe the necessity of implementing so many rules.
Oddly enough....they will do this in time....to affect the 2019 EU election (summer 2019), and probably trigger an anti-EU sentiment to occur.
