Just reading the title, my first thought was: The advertisers "paid for the internet" for us. Open and free is such a dissonant idea, since the internet costs money to keep running.
Oh, so that money that I pay to my ISP every month? I’m just hallucinating that?
Give me a break.
FB, Twitter, and the rest could go down and I would still be able to use the Internet. It would be more boring for about two weeks or so… then I would get used to it. Maybe go outside more. :)
In the 1990's what you paid to your ISP every month covered it, and included enough web space for everyone to have an average site of their own, which the ISP would serve to the world for you.
Google had no ads because their motto was "Don't Be Evil".

When Android still has a Play Store and non-AOSP versions of it require access to Google services, not to mention that it's all likely to be backdoored for the benefit of the US intelligence agencies (which is the assumption this decision starts from), then effectively the Android Privacy Sandbox is unlikely to make Android legal again in the EU ?
