All this bill would do is ensure that Google, Facebook and others completely shutdown all local European presence. That means all those local jobs go away and all legal recourse is gone while at the same time everyone keeps using it. Unless of course you're willing to implement the great firewall of Europe and join China in a world where the powers that be can decide to rewrite history.
If this would be true, Europeans would have a big interest in implementing this law right now. While some local jobs from Facebook and Google might disappear, large European competitors for those sites would appear that implement the technical possibility to delete this information that you have published before, and creating new jobs and tax income for a state within the EU. Win-win for the Europeans I would say.
