    > ATT or App Tracking Transparency

    I hadn't heard of Apple's new permissions model referred to this way. I think ATT as an acronym is already taken when it comes to cell phones.

    Assume they’ll be rolling out a link to the ‘ad free’ version imminently in that case.

    I might consider paying for Facebook if I knew it was tracking & advertising free.

    But more importantly, I do not agree with their "community standards" and the lack of any useful appeal process. Already ended up in Facebook jail a time or two and it's been a frustrating experience. Why? I shared a meme. that was on Facebook. and I get my account suspended for it.

    As a paying customer, I wouldn't tolerate that at all.

    Oh please make people pay for facebro.

    Make the Twitter users pay to tweet and get distribution.

    End these monopolies of stupidity

    I read it more as a plea that “we’re desperate”
