The point is, not everyone can. Some businesses only have Facebook pages as their online presence. The network effects, especially in the older generations, are still very strong.

The EU had to draw the line somewhere. Facebook is over that line with the amount of people still on there.

    You're also free to not give business to places that only have Facebook pages as their online presence.

    Facebook is not a necessity. Full stop.

    I think you don't understand the issue. The problem is not whether you can get around using Facebook in your life, the problem is whether people in general will get around using it. The numbers show they won't, so they need to be regulated in order to protect free markets.
