To be honest, I dont accept the argument that extremly detailed tracking is the only way to show relevant ads. High level information is probably enough and I'm sure FB would still make tons of money by even showing random ads.

Makes you wonder if there is actually another reason for collecting all that data? Like building AI and ML models for other purposes.



If regulations don't prevent them from doing so, I expect FB to pivot into Surveillance As A Service for authoritarian states.
