Europe has enacted a law called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It protects user privacy in ways that I think need to be implemented in the U.S. For example, the article notes that many people don't read the fine print in user agreements that they click "OK" to. Part of GDPR says essentially "Screw your fine print. You need to make sure the user explicitly understands and agrees to your sharing of their private data" GDPR forces companies to be responsible regarding user personal data. Facebook already faces problems over their existing work under GDPR. Facebook is disgustingly cavalier with user's information and despite Zuckerberg's robotic reassurances, I don't think they have any sincere intentions of honestly reforming. Facebook and Google hit with $8.8 billion in lawsuits on day one of GDPR Facebook could face $1.63bn fine under GDPR over latest data breach If the company was "careful" and just preyed upon U.S. users, then they probably are safer with the exception of potential FTC violations. Trump's government shutdown is affecting that investigation. The shutdown is about to force the FTC to suspend its Facebook investigation, former officials say
