Why can't they charge you in data? If they present the deal to users as, "let us track your data, and in return you get to use facebook", is that not a trade that should be allowed? Isn't part of being able to 'be in control' of your data being allowed to sell it yourself? I think the key point is being clear about the trade. I think FORCING all websites to only be paid for by cash is bad; you should be able to trade your own data for access to a service. |
