best part of their double speak is that Trump is literally, and very loudly and publicly- saying he is going to try and prosecute people who speak up and out against him. So they demand free speech and removal of accountability on one hand, then support the weaponization of enforcement on the other.
Appears so. If there’s money in it for him, he’s on board. Then as the world burns, he’ll fly off to his secret $270 million underground bunker in Hawaii.
Ireland has low corporate tax rate which I assume was the main reason for FB move there. There may be other large companies that would love to see that that haven't yet gone there. Fingers crossed (I get it's way more complex)
The EU laws concerning that are enforced by the EU commission. The MS did know that they did not want Ireland enforcing the DSA/DMA against Silicon Valley, so the big players are being regulated directly by the Commission.

Yeah, but Ireland has a low corporate tax which is why they are there. Over the next 4 years it’s Zuck & Musks plan to get the people of each European country to turn on each other. We may be on the cusp of WW3
DSA/DGA are directly effective EU Regulations. member states don't get to choose how to implement them. The only way for an individual country to roll them back is to leave the EU.
Given Ireland's massive windfall at the expense of the UK from Brexit, I don't see it leaving the EU anytime soon.

That does not change the situation […]
