Another problem with Meta’s policy change is that most users would not understand how to opt out of the new policy, Litan said.
“Users are complacent about figuring out all the murky black box privacy processes that occur behind the scenes, largely because they are not able to understand them anyways,” Litan said. “Of course, there is no one at Meta that you can talk to if you have questions, and we have no tutorial or video to explain what it means to not opt out, nor how to opt out,” she added.
Meta should pay their users for their data, Litan said, because they are using it to increase their own profitability.
