So, if Facebook does it, it's evil, but it's fine if publishers and newspaper do it on their websites?

NOYB has also filled complaints against newspaper, who uses pay or okay. For example against an austrian newspaper or against german ones

I guess newspaper track less data? But I think you have a valid point

The way I personally see it is, that Facebook had become so vital a part of everyday life for many users that leaving the platform is not a viable option. Many users have to be on the platform to communicate and coordinate their jobs or free time club activities.
