what I’ve seen so far is that the heat isn’t against the API, it’s against it being shipped enabled by default (opt-out rather than opt-in)

That’s a requirement of being usable however. It has to be the default.

@Carighan @cerement personal data slurping has to be opt in the EU however. So not sure how etc will feel.

This would very likely be considered anonymized data, which means it is not personal data and the GDPR does not apply.

@Ephera nonsense. Clearly possibilities for Facebook, who invented this, to show everyone a unique enough ad, that even with mixing and smudging in the 3rd party reporter, they can tell you clicked it, because you are in a cohort of one, even if the ad reporting service says 100 slightly different people did it.

Since you know this with such certainty, you should sue them.

@Ephera can't afford that. They've won. Look how long has taken, and still not got changed, over all of the current shit.
