No, that business model is still perfectly valid, but the users have to give their unequivocal consent for the business to do this, and the user have to give it freely, ie. you cannot say "you have to opt in to giving us all of your personal data, before you are allowed to use Facebook."

Isn't that "you pay with your data"?

Or do you mean it would allow things like "$5/month, or free if you consent"?
