And the current privacy laws in EU make the free services illegal. How is that any better than the scenario where paid services did not exist?
- jen20 5y agoBecause privacy is maintained for those that want it, and those that don't know they want it. Free services may exist perfectly well: - They must not invade privacy without obtaining consent - They must not transfer personal information to jurisdictions with privacy controls which are too lax. If a business relies on doing either of those two things, it deserves all the problems it has.
- nickpp 5y ago> and those that don't know they want it So much evil was done in the name of pretending to know what people want better than people themselves.
- jen20 5y agoThen focus on the people that do want it - which by the count of the number of people who say no to Facebook tracking on iOS, is a very high number. Enough to be of material impact to Facebook's bottom line.
- nickpp 5y agoThe law does not allow Facebook to refuse service to those saying no to tracking. If they were faced with that choice, I am sure most users would've made a very different selection.
