    True. Though you need to remember: “when the service is free, you are the product.”
    Facebook & Instagram for example do allow you to not be tracked in the EU - just pay them 10€/month instead.
    Shockingly, basically nobody does.

    Same goes for most loyalty apps, you get discounts in exchange for your data.

      Yeah but even when the service isn’t free these companies collect as much data as possible to sell if you’re not EU so maybe we need to retire that saying.
