Thing to keep in mind on this is that it's a national regulatory decision based on an EU regulatory decision, and it is expected to be just the first of several more like it to come from it. Meaning, it is likely to spread and it is likely to escalate over time. And even if it's just an added cost of doing business, it does impact the financial viability of Facebook surveillance-capitalistic model.
