They don’t want to deal with the costs, just get the data. At least that’s what I got from the text, as a reason why they were pushing to make social networks extempt and keep it on app/OS level.

But they’re not getting the data. The data is going to Google, MS and Apple. All they’re getting is an age bracket.
