I disagree. This cross-app tracking is an anti-trust concern. Plus, it's just fiscally irresponsible to give users choices. Facebook doesn't run a business in the real world, instead they play "games" which have optimal strategies and numbers to min/max. The more money they sink into surveillance-advertising, the more incentive they have to push users to actually use it. That incentive never goes away, it just builds pressure over time. This pressure inevitably manifests as lobbying money to rewrite the law in their own interest. There is a common saying in the U.S. with regards to business: "You are either growing or you are dying."

We don't need to live inside of a panopticon in order to figure what shows are playing in town, what new items are down at the shops. Tell me what city you live in; I can help you find stuff around town at no cost and I don't even have to spy on you.
