Nobody else has reported on this issue yet so hopefully this is accurate.

#3Glad to see that they do address the issue that for a company as big as Meta, it just ends up being a cost of doing business rather than a limitation on tracking.

#4Pure nostalgia seeing that Instagram app icon.
Alas, as always with such news:
"The EU decision will not have direct consequences for users, unfortunately, as it can be appealed to. Such an appeal would lead to a lengthy judicial process."

Don't be so pessimistic, I'm sure the Metaverse will take off any day now.

#6It took 5 years for this to work its way through the system. Facebook can probably just iterate a little and fight for another 5 years.

I wondered about the lack of other sources too and in their post they link to this (paywalled) article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/metas-targeted-ad-model-faces-r...

#9If they can't show good ads in Europe, I assume that they will lose money and eventually have to close down here.
I think that users have a right to know what happens to their data. But this is not a consent or information screen, this is the end of it. Europe tells us they do this for our own good, so we can own our data, but then they make it illegal for us to exchange our data for someone's service. Basically they think they know better than us what to do with our data: it is the opposite of freedom.
Hopefully this will teach the users to vote better. Oh wait, we can't elect EU officials directly.

Nike will be, they're also requiring you to consent or get out (and also set lots of cookies without consent, but I guess it's fine if you're not a social media company).
