A possible 'shutdown' of Facebook and Instagram in the EU has been welcomed by European leaders, who say they would live "very well without Facebook". Earlier this week Meta quietly issued a warning saying that it could shut down the services if Europe doesn't let it perform "transatlantic data transfers". In an annual report to a US government agency, Meta said that the company will "probably" have to stop offering its "most significant products and services" if a new framework is not adopted.

The tuna was cured ever so lightly and paired with sour cream — a touch of flavor inspired by the UK — chef’s kiss!)Tuna tartare.Jessica Rinaldi/Globe StaffRamsay, who is from the UK but owns restaurants all over the world, and 12 in the United States, said the menu will “definitely” be changing as he settles into the scene here.“The more frequent, the more dangerous,” Ramsay said of switching up the menu. “That makes it the most exciting for the customers. ...

How are we supposed to invite people to parties now? Credit: Screenshot/Facebook A decade ago, when you made a new friend IRL, you'd add them on Facebook. You'd see each others' posts and, eventually, when you wanted to invite them to a party, you'd create an event page and add them to it.But now, when you meet someone new, maybe you'll follow them on Instagram or Twitter or no social media at all.
