    From the article it mentions making consent-less tracking illegal. Considering you’re not using their system and therefore don’t have the ability to consent in the first place, it seems to cover that sort of tracking.

    Not sure that was the original goal, so it might not immediately fall in the jurisdiction, but a case could be made that would set precedent there. I’m really hoping that pans out.

    I’m also hoping (though I know it’s a slim possibility) that this sort of law will occur here in the US as well… California might try it, but Meta lobbies Congress enough that I can’t see it happening here any time soon.
