I don't get the analogy. Facebook is using data you give them when using the app. How is that similar to invading your home?

- piva00 3y agoNo, they're using the data that FB trackers installed on pages to track conversion, display ads, etc. collects from you. Even if you do not use nor ever used anything produced by Facebook/Meta.
- jpalawaga 3y agofacebook is using a lot more data about you than 'when you use the app'. every share button on the internet is basically a tracking pixel. who asked for that? nevermind network effects. nevermind intrusive, subversive attempts at tracking like the SDK shenangians. nevermind contact book uploads. no, they're not invading your home. Gathering information about you from friends who DID let them in? Rifling through your garbage? A chase car to surveil your movements? Perhaps those are more apt comparisons.

- stubish 3y agoFacebook is violating your right to privacy in both cases. You could voluntarily hand over your data or voluntarily allow them into your home. But the EU isn't going to allow Facebook or anyone to force people to give up their rights. It is illegal unless Facebook also allows use without giving up their right to privacy.
