Meta is still allowed to do this, so consumers still get a choice. Meta is just now forced to ask consumers for their explicit consent.

The legislation is not forcing the choice on any consumer, it’s giving them their choice back by forcing Meta to ask the question in clear terms and allow users to clearly tell Meta they are not allowed to spy. Now, if Meta can’t make a viable business model without denying users the choice, doesn’t that mean that their model is flawed? The thing is, for users to understand what they are choosing, they need to understand their right to privacy and why it matters. It took the EU at least a decade (possibly more) to reach the point where they are starting to apply this legislation.
