    The only place in the world they ask is the EU. They have real regulations and enough people the market is hard to ignore.

      UK has adopted GDPR as national law during the Brexit. Meta not knowing it, or worse, ignoring it, is in for a big surprise.

      Seriously. Journalists are just lazy. They could easily use other phrases, like:

      "He just got his dunkin degree from dunkin on you.”

      “He slams the ball in like an ice cold lemonade!”

      “Can’t buy a bucket.”

      “Reeejected.”

      “From downtown!”

      “He’s heating up!”

      “What was he thinking??”

      “[Doinnk]”

      “Well blow me over!”

      “He’s on fire.”

      “The man has some dunk in his trunk!”

      “Bullseye!”

      “The bigger the love, the bigger the shove.”

      “Diagnosis: You suck!”

      “The donut shop called… They want their Dunkin back.”

      “Razzle Dazzle!”.

      “Droppin’ a deuce!”.

      “What a wild shot!”

      “Boomshakalaka!”
