No business should play along with their BS or hand over customer data.

I never thought I'd say this, but: Good on Facebook for not complying.

So, VW should be able to sell cars in the US ignoring the environmental laws, too?

VW has an actual office in the US - it's not VW Germany selling cars in the US, but VW America.

If you purchased a VW car in Germany and had it shipped over to the US it would be on YOU to make sure it complies with all requirements of your country, not Volkswagen's.
