Privacy is not a belief, it is law.

And Facebook said users in the EU can pay. Do you really think users are happy with that?

No, and they won't pay. They'll just hit "accept tracking" and carry on.

And that's exactly the point the EU is making: it's not truly free consent.

So people used their own free will to make a choice that the government doesn’t agree with and therefore a law is needed?
