Meta charges up to €251.88 per year to respect the fundamental right to privacy of EU users. This is a violation of the GDPR.

Meta has this dangerous mentality that they are above the law anyway, so whatever they say, until a government powerful enough to really make them pay steps up and shows them that they are in fact not above the law, they'll just fucking do whatever they fucking want.

Well when the governments around the world give them that power when they want them to push their agenda's all the time, can't really blame them for acting like the de-facto government they've become, thanks to actual govt's. Govt's always operate above their own laws, that's nothing new.
