Big German newspapers give you an option to allow their personalized ads or to pay a subscription to access their content. You have a choice. Besides, they are not tracking you everywhere. Spiegel will not care if you visited Zeit or Bild.

On the other side, Meta doesn't give you a choice. They and their numerous services are tracking you across the globe.

I would be happy if Meta refuses to provide you any of their services and track me across the internet unless I go to meta.com and accept their terms and conditions.

(Including across many mobile/tablet/smart tv apps that people would never consider. Some bug tracking SDKs report to Meta, as does every app that allows you to log in with Facebook (even if you log in another way).)
