Instance, if the ‘price’ of these ‘free’ services were merely access to data, the utilisation of data to produce targeted advertising demonstrates an inequity between parties (this is to say nothing of platforms like Uber or AirBnB which facilitate transactions while acquiring data, or Netflix or FitBit who have financial costs associated with their services).

It may be wise, therefore, to south africa rcs data adjust the transactional concept to reflect the role of advertising. Yet, Facebook and Google could still advertise to users without collecting their data. If the exchange were actually advertising access for free services, data shouldn’t come into it.

Another criticism might be called the interoperability argument.

If users really transact their data for free services, we might expect that users could stop using a service and receive their data back so that they may ‘shop around’ for a new service. This is the notion of interoperability – users should be able to take their data from one service to another without hindrance. Extending this rationale implies users should also be able to sell their data at a market rate instead of receiving services, and also purchase data at the same rate.
