What is an alternative that is not the same rotten and makes money to comply with the massive stack of rules you have to comply with now? Or has a way that is not needed (p2p content only).
What makes this situation unique is Facebook is no longer able to innovate, both on its own or through acquiring innovators due to antitrust concerns. What comes next is an increase in rent seeking behavior, while fleecing the existing users and identifying whales.
They just can't pass data to the USA.
Didn't Meta just claim that they were all in favour of government regulations? Now they're whining and crying they have to follow the law. Good riddance to bad rubbish if they go through with it. Now if only we could get them to leave Canada.
Didn't they just report the first the first time ever user decline? Not exactly a strong negotiating position.
Just amateur-hour clumsy.

They probably assumed that they would be the ones writing those regulations, and I think that's a fair assumption for the US market. Monopolies are big fans of regulatory capture, and politicians benefit greatly from them. The EU seems (to me, an outsider) to be more resistant to that sort of influence; at least from corps based in the US.

I guess the alternative is some other social media network (possibly European?), which will be more likely to be regulated from an earlier stage in it's lifecycle and therefore to be better behaved in terms of user privacy.
