I'm half meming with the title but at the same time Meta publicly claiming that pirating books isn't illegal if there's no proof of seeding seems real ridiculous

Zuck continues to display true idiocy at work:

So Facebook has to be sued in the Netherlands for it to succeed 👌 If somebody goes through with it, that would be a great popcorn moment.
