>An informed consent must be required.

While I don't know what the prompt exactly said, I bet it was specific enough. The fact that people just click Accept without reading it shouldn't make it less binding, that would be infantilising users.

>There is a huge difference between you stalking someone else's friends and a company collecting billions of data points to use for political manipulation.

I agree. And that company is not Meta. So I don't understand why Meta is paying. In any case all I said was that this is one of the reasons APIs are closed and everything is a silo.
