Do you think that Meta should be obligated to provide their services everywhere? If I'm running a company, and the laws in Italy would require more work to comply with than the value I would receive from being in Italy, how could you somehow possibly fault me for deciding that the best thing for my company is to just not be available in Italy?

Meta has been doing everything in their power to avoid doing that. See the most recent example: "CJEU declares Meta/Facebook's GDPR approach largely illegal" https://noyb.eu/en/cjeu-declares-metafacebooks-gdpr-approach...
