There are only three ways to deal with regulations you don’t like: political, legal, and force.

Where you put something is completely irrelevant.

That's not accurate. You can build/do/etc things in some places and not in others because of differences in local law/regulation.

Where you put something, like a data center, can be relevant. If Meta didn't have a business presence in the EU, and operated their data centers outside of the EU, they wouldn't have been subject to GDPR in the same way they were.
