And all of it 100% unnecessary. Which is painful to think about the 30M people that signed up without caring about this.

It is necessary... for Meta.
Their business depends on the data that is harvested from it's users.

The fact that they can't launch in EU because of how much data they are hoovering up, is a tell tale sign as to how the business is operating.

It isn't unnecessary at all, if you're Meta.

Which is the fundamental issue with a system like that.

The priority is in the wrong damn place.
