More like “it’s a matter of intimidation”

I suspect this is actually a chance to give the Information Commissioner a bloody nose.

The unfortunate fact is that her enforcement team are not crack prosecutors (think Neasden Trading Standards) and have lost a lot of appeals recently.

Hence Facebook likely want to show her up to deter her from meddling in the future.

Facebook is not a well meaning organisations. It’s logo wasn’t “do no evil” and never will be.
