It's also illegal under the GPDR. You require positive consent to privacy policies.

Implied consent is not a legal basis for data collection.

To concur:

I'm not sure "we unilaterally changed the contract without notice and you agreed because you happened to use the product that day" would hold up in any court, for any reason.

A contract requires a "meeting of the minds", which is impossible if one party doesn't even tell the other: you can't agree to a contract you didn't know you were even agreeing to.

I don't believe those terms would hold up anywhere (and this is why sites will tell you, over and over, when the terms and conditions change).

Wow, literal Darth Vader line there.

Pretty sure this or similar applies to policies of most web services, sadly.

So instead you will just be tracked by Google Analytics ;)

So I just checked this from my PC and indeed uBlock Origin had blocked 3 google-analytics.com links. TIL I suppose.

Unfortunately I cannot edit the OP anymore so I'll provide the original text in this comment

Facebook Analytics is Going Away

Facebook Analytics will no longer be available after June 30, 2021. Until then, you will still be able to access reports, export charts and tables, and explore insights. To export data into a CSV file from Facebook Analytics on your desktop, click the arrow in the top-right corner of each chart or table.

Other business tools can help you understand your advertising, presences, and activities on Facebook and Instagram, including:

-Facebook Business Suite allows you to manage your Facebook and Instagram business accounts and can show you detailed insights about your audience, content and trends. (This tool may not be available to you yet.)

-Events Manager can help you set up and manage Facebook Business Tools like the Facebook pixel and Conversions API, and reports actions taken on your website, in your app and in your physical store.
