The final say may ultimately come from the Cox vs Record Labels case from 2019 that is still working it's way through the appeal courts.

If the record labels win their appeal, anyone who helped facilitate the infringement can be brought into a lawsuit. The record labels sued Cox for infringement by it's users. It's not out of the question that any ISP that provides Internet connectivity to Facebook could be pulled in for damages.

For Meta these two cases could result in an existential threat to the company, and rightly so because the record labels do not play games. The blood is already in the water.

I don't see how that's a threat to Meta.
