This feature and fb's hate for it makes me seriously consider moving back to. iOS.
If you're pissing off facebook, you're doing something right.

#32I have zero sympathy for Facebook. If they claim to care so much about small businesses, they should start by committing to change how they respond to any upstart social app that dares encroach on what they see as their territory. That being said - and it pains me to say this - but there is absolutely truth to the fact that the style of targeting now possible on FB & Instagram has enabled an entire world of very smal…

I think a good middle ground here is an opt-out approach on Apple's end. Force the user to make a cognitive choice here with a clear understanding of what their choice means. Communication is key.
Some users may very well appreciate and value the hyper-relevant advertisements they see on services, and remain opted-in to the sharing of tracking data.
I personally know many people who have bought many things they value greatly that they discovered through advertisements on various social networks.
At the end of the day, it should be the choice of the user; not the system (Apple/iOS, Google/Android, etc.) or the relying third parties (Facebook, etc.)

I'm curious as why Facebook is so much more effective, and I agree from personal experience that it is. In theory a display ad network has all the user web browsing behavior so should have a good user profile. So the ads should be almost as targeted. However the ad format is very different and I believe that benefits Facebook greatly in terms of smaller businesses (more constrained creative so less work, interactive, can respond to users, etc.).
edit: Also, a display ad shown across the web will never blend in with the style of every webpage it's shown on while a Facebook ad will inherently do so.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
To play the devil's advocate, most small business in my area of Europe(bars, cafes, bands, jazz/rock halls, shops, restaurants and even dentists) rely on Facebook for reaching out to their customers or audience, organizing and advertising events and even for customer support via Facebook Messenger to the point where their Facebook page has replaced their main website as it's more alive since it's easier for their sta…
Maybe it’s because Facebook has killed anyone’s desire to check out a website, penalizing those that don’t have an entry on the platform?
Many people prefer looking at the companies Facebook page, rather than the website. Sometimes, websites are designed poorly and can confuse the visitor. Meanwhile, the Facebook page shows customer ratings, posts, comments, reactions, and other useful information.

#35I'm moving away from Android (after 10 years) to iOS for exactly this reason. Not much sympathy for FB on my end.

#36Facebook is only interested in small businesses because of the revenues they can get from them. They don’t give a crap otherwise. I don’t like companies who pretend to protect others when in fact it’s just to protect them. This is simply dishonest. If they showed in the past that they were on the small business side, that would be a different story. But right now, Facebook as a company should not be allowed to survive.

I'm sure there are a lot of businesses that can exist by knowing everything about me. And, frankly, I think it's ok if they do... as long as they have my permission. The nice thing is that this is what this change does. It makes it more clear who, and what, is sharing information about me. A world where we have apps and websites that pop up with an alert "This website will share information about you with Facebook, e…
I had a minimal Facebook account that I wasn’t really using, so I deleted it. Before deleting, I downloaded the third party vendors that Facebook shared data with and was shocked. I almost am never logged in to Facebook and yet here was Home Depot, the company I get face wash from, etc all linked back to my account somehow, and I had no idea.

#38It’s sort of funny, if not maddening, to see elitists try to appeal to the little guy when their back is against the wall. I feel like this is a common trope. It reminds me of Aurelius Commodus in Gladiator.

Interesting. How do you get that information?

#40Newspaper ads? At least Facebook knows their demographic.
