It is not about ads, it is about tracking across apps.

Right, but tracking being about ads does not make showing ads equivalent to tracking, although Facebook wants you to believe that. IOW, (A => B) does not imply (A <= B). Or (A <=> B), for that matter.

Based on Facebooks history of choosing profit over ethics, I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to productize surveillance of citizens to authoritarian governments, if they haven't already.
