Facebook employs lots of people in Ireland, they don’t want them out of business.


Ok, so if a company employs enough people they get to break the law at their discretion?


Imo discretion remains with the public, but yes, corporations can arguably get away with more illegal things if they have more weight


Not saying it’s right


<10k people is not a lot in a half a billion people block


Can’t speak for the rest of Europe but if the Irish DPC put Facebook out of business it would be seen as a massive financial own goal by most of the Irish electorate.
