I have done a bit of digging on this...
From what I have seen and am speculating on is the following:
TS right now is exempt because they do not currently see 10% of EU web traffic (e.g. they are small) so they do not have to comply - yet.
The speculative piece of me believes that the other big tech companies, even though they may have their HQ's in the USA, are setup as foreign companies in tax havens like Bermuda. Therefore they are opened up to the fines and dictatorships of EU (face the fine, censor, OR move your company back into the USA to MAGA)
You got my attention fren. Do you have any links handy to help me cut through the crap sales propaganda? I attempt to hide behind a VPN, but I know my mac address will still reveal me. I'm using Windows10.
If you wish, you can make a dual install: watch?v=EFJEBxg-o54
after linux mint install, install Macchanger.
open terminal (ALT + T): sudo apt install Macchanger
when installing Macchanger will ask if you want a new MAC address and IP-address on your internal system.
Wow, so it's back to the Unix world again. That's where I started 35 years ago with System 3 & then System 5. Hey, maybe C programmers will become in demand again and I can get out of the windows world.
A sincere thanks for sharing your knowledge fren, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Unfortunately, I make my living in the Microsoft stack these days and I'm learning a lot of new MS stuff in order to keep my job at the moment. Be blessed bit twidler.
How about Truth Social?
It seems better to be using technical solutions to fuck up their measurements like NO log VPN, Lokinet and Tor.
It helps to have a macchanger/ ipadress changer too.
For those inclined: search TAILS and how to burn it on a usb stick. Whonix is also nice.
Of course when on windows or Debian with systemd, you can choose to use Lokinet.

When you cross over to linux would be beneficial.
added software: signal, sessions.
