    Curious how they expect this to work for people who aren’t even “paying” [with money or data] Meta users. Those people who never signed up for any of their services yet are still being tracked across websites via those social sharing buttons and the like. Are they supposed to pay Meta to not hoard their data from all the other websites, despite never setting foot on a Meta site?

      It is plain illegal what META is doing there. They just haven’t been dragged to court so far.

      But with these buttons, the websites which includes them are offenders, too.

        They are, but 95% of them have no clue what Facebook is using their site to do. They just handwave it away as “add this button and users can like your posts” without any actual effort to inform the site owner how invasive they are.
