Yes it does, the reason Meta's actions went from legal to illegal is because US law changed.

Facebook has worked the same way for more than a decade. First EU law changed and it was fine because the US and EU had a data sharing agreement, then US law changed. If you what Meta did wrong is not completely rearchitect Facebook in response to a US/EU squabble then your bar for right and wrong is really really low.

There's a lot of things you can point to that Meta does that are shady, but they thing they actually got fined for didn't have to do with any of them.
