Nonsense. Changing the means of transfer or payment model doesn't mean changing the product. This is like arguing that Dominos doesn't have to obey health rules

Nonsense. Changing the means of transfer or payment model doesn't mean changing the product. This is like arguing that Dominos doesn't have to obey health rules because they're not a restaurant, they're a food delivery. You don't get to decide which parts of your product the law applies to, and which don't. You can't bypass all firearms laws by selling holsters that just so happen to have guns in them as a free bonus. If Facebook tries this in court, the conversation will go something like this: Court: Do you sell data? Zuck: No, we sell access to data Court: so if you took out the data, and gave only access to your systems, completely blank and with nothing on them, people would still want to pay just as much? Zuck: No, our customers want the data Court: Then you are selling data. Case closed. Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 email addresses.
