Probably not to have Facebook piss all over their privacy.

I suspect there's been enough revelations about FB practices that many users would support Apple if they blocked the main apps. For a temporary block anyway.

Much of the audience here is probably much more understanding of the situation and aligned with your (presumed) position, myself included.

Most of the general population probably neither understands nor cares that much if someone is watching what sites they visit or other basic privacy items and if you make them choose between privacy (especially privacy of others) and being able to post a picture of their lunch, many will choose the latter.

I have had a LOT of conversations with non technical people about this recently.

“My phone is listening to my conversations” is how it goes - people know this tracking is happening, they hate it and find it intensely creepy, they just don’t know the mechanism being used.

Unfortunately fb pissing over everyone’s privacy is invisible and intangible. So for most it doesn’t exist.

Disabling an app would be very noticeable and would anger many people.

Ummm, then those people don't have to side load an app that sells your data for money.
