"on your own Continent" != "in the EU."

Ukraine isn't in the EU, neither is Swicerland, Norway or, most famously, the UK. All of these are on the European continent, all of these have citizens living right near a border with an EU country and regularly having to communicate with the EU side.

This is for EAA, which includes Switzerland, Norway and even Turkey.

Yes, it does not include UK, but that's on them.

I encourage people living in other countries to complain to their goverment on Metas policies.

I'm in Switzerland and I can confirm that it applies here too
