Facebook collects data from various sites and doesn't care if you are a user or not.

How can you get a consent from someone who doesn't even know facebook collects data from?

This is the funny thing. You don't. It has to be informed consent. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

Which makes Meta’s entire business illegal in the EU, thus the lawsuits and bans
