Make FG tread softly o. Make them find middle ground so we don't coerce them to an exit. You know we're still contending with harsh economic situations and we can't afford to have increment in our already worsening unemployment rate.

You see, this is what the likes of Glaxosmith, Hungins and Co was running from. They didn't want to pay for the atrocities they might have committed in the past.
I wanted to reply you, for your obvious deliberate disinformation, but I thought again...( Sigh)...
It's not easy to support propaganda. It must be maintained by more lies and brain- death.

I understand bro.
You need that ₦30k badly.

By the way, though I didn't read the long epistle of the original write-up ( when politicians want to scam you, they use big-big turenchi), I like the new " Lagos Boys" Format.


Instead of going to world bank to borrow money, just slam :
Facebook, twitter, Snapchat , WhatsApp even tiktok $200 millions.
No interest payment! angry

Just slam and enjoyment!

Hope they know that by using meta products you agree to their terms and conditions including the use of your data for marketing and market targeting purposes.

They will just refer you to one of their lengthy privacy policy that people hardly ever read. Good luck trying to get the money off them.
Honestly, the Lagos Boys are slow.

A lot of people are just talking for talking sake.
You made a reasonable comment.

Look the privacy policy is important and good but why we say is discrimination is that our data protection policies are tailored after the EU. In implementation if somone in the says he does not want meta to share their data, they can still go ahead and use their services but that of Nigeria and Africa, if you refuse, u can't proceed . So u are forced to give permission for them to use ur data
It's discrimination bro

Please enlighten me, is it this discrimination that we are fining them for?

I see no sense in slamming charges and fines on global online platforms... [b]while Nigerians enjoy her benefits of free acce[/b]ss..,
If an online platform offers free access to it's servers... doesn't bully or support such... not a threat to national security... her corporate home country not having dispute with Nigeria... then slamming huge fines are baseless...
Actually I don't see valid points in the charges laid against Meta...
It is as a result of unbridled ignorance that I see so many young people attacking the Nigerian government on this issue.
Do you have any idea how many times Meta has been fined for similar infractions around the world?

Let me set you straight by making it clear that, from a revenue-generating perspective, you are the product!
It is your presence on the platform that helps bring in advertising revenue. cool

Apart from.the discrimination, they used their dominant position in that space to force users to give them the power to share their data if not u can't use their services. In Europe u can refuse them.to share ur data and can still use Facebook, but in nigeria u must allow them share ur data or u can't use the service. Its discriminatory.

Data is going to drive the 4th industrial revolution. Imagine with sharing ur data they have and using it how many wise business decisions they have taken without u knowing ot they have even marketed ur data to how many company only God knows .

Data now is power .

Allow users determine what u do with their data in your custody.

You see, abuse of dominant position, cartel, monopoly and anti Competitive practices that come with fine of up to 10% of ur previous year revenue. It's what the law says.

Those practices inflict serious injury on the consumers, so u pay dearly if your caught in those act

This fine is even small compared to what they fine them.in Europe and other places .

I get your point. But you're not compelled to use their app. We must all learn to exercise our freedom of choice as consumers. If you're not okay with a clause in their tnc, you boycott their app.

If you do a market study and more than 50 to 70 percent of the populace use whatsapp to chat, they are dominant.
