    They don’t have to “make those demands”. They just need to keep fining the company if it fails to comply with the law in its own region.

    Meta can probably figure out a solution that complies, but if they can’t, then they have to decide whether to just suck up the fine, or address it worldwide.

      You missed a scenario though, ignore the fine and let Norway kick you out. Could probably even spin it that Norwegian regulators refused to work with them.

        Well at least Norway is standing up for their people. That is more than most governments are doing lately.
