Can democracies stand up to Facebook? Ireland may have the answer | John Naughton

Governments struggle to tackle the might of the tech giants when it comes to protecting users’ data
Last month, the Irish data protection commissioner (DPC) sent Facebook a preliminary order ordering it to stop sending the data of its European users to the US. This was a big deal, because in order to comply with the ruling, Facebook would have to embark on a comprehensive re-engineering of its European operations, or to shut down those operations entirely, at least for a time.
Such a shutdown would of course be traumatic for the poor souls who are addicted to Facebook and Instagram, but it would be even worse for the company – for two reasons. The first is that it makes more money from European users’ data – an average of $13.21 (£10.19) per user in 2019 – than from any other territory except the US (where it earns $41.41 per user); the second is that failure to comply could land it with a fine of up to 4% of its global revenue, which in Facebook’s case would come to about $3bn. Given the scale of its revenues, that’s not a showstopper, but it would nevertheless be annoying.

The Wind Farm and its Benefits

In Jamaica there is a wind farm that is supplying the grid
And its shares are being sold so the people can bid
When it continues to grow we will see smaller bills
More persons will work there and improve their skills
Reducing the energy bill is a great thing to do
Economic growth is a great thing to look forward to
Reduced cost of electricity will have a great impact on the poor
They will be able to use the money they save to do a lot more
Supporting Wind Farms is a great thing to do
I hope you are doing the same thing in your country too
I like to see renewable energy projects they are what we need
They are designed to help many persons to succeed
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Did you see the project for the children and the environment?
