    Uh, no. The system is:

    • The law requires us to disable tracking by default for all users
    • We can’t make hundreds of billions of dollars per year with tracking disabled
    • So - make the service $14/month by default, unless you opt-in.
    • It’s win/win. If users pay $14, they make huge profits. If users opt in to tracking, they make huge profits.

      they don’t ‘win’ if europeans tell zuk to take a hike in sufficient numbers. decline the tracking for ‘free’ use and declining the paid option.

        So basically decline to use Facebook? I’m skeptical. People will just opt in to the tracking, most people don’t care. Or maybe they’ll post on Facebook about how they don’t like it.

        Even if they did and chose to go to some other platform, they’ll eventually run up against the same business model decisions.
