This is excellent. This is exactly what I always wanted. It’s unavoidable that this happens, unless Facebook accepts that one group of users subsidizes another. There are real concerns about “privacy as a class issue” but I can’t see how the solution is to ensure lack of privacy for everyone.
Adding a premium tier and blocking access on iOS for the standard tier when tracking is disabled seems like an easy fix.
Obviously, if there is a discrepancy between what people want to pay (say $1/mo in developed countries and a lot less in poorer countries?) vs what FB makes per used from ads, this poses an existential threat to their business. Which is also delicious.
