Do you think Meta hires lawyers who tell them “maybe don’t spy on people” instead of lawyers who will fight all the fines EU throws at their way? Companies don’t hire lawyers just so they could say something can’t be done, they’re hired to find a way to get it done or find an irrefutable point why it can’t be done. The fact that Valve did go ahead with the hands-off approach shows that the lawyer didn’t do their job properly when they presented their opinion.
