The law defines that distinction just fine. Business necessity doesn't count for anything, only technical necessity for certain purposes.

Do you recognize at least how circular this argument is? "Technical necessity for certain purposes", purposes like offering a service, which is the reason the business is necessary for the people who use it?

Being able to make more money through ad tracking to stay in business to keep the service running is not one of them.
