Personally, I am happy EU and Brazil put brakes on this because Meta deserves to learn a lesson about forced consent. That is not an okay thing to do.
Instead of earning goodwill, and actually represent open source and the wider community - they simply assumed that consent is a given.
If they had forced everyone in an unavoidable consent form when visiting Facebook/Instagram, the results would be completely different.
They knew this.
