Facebook’s parent company Meta warned this week that it could shut down Facebook and Instagram operations in Europe if it was no longer allowed to store data on European users in the US.

“I can confirm that life would be very good without Facebook and that we would live very well without Facebook,” French finance minister Bruno Le Maire told reporters during a meeting on Monday, as quoted by Euronews.
German economy minister Robert Habeck echoed Le Maire’s zinger.
