The harm of not allowing Facebook dating while it fails to meet privacy
regulations is that people have to use alternative dating services that do
meet privacy regulations.

Social harm: nothing.

The implication that any government ban is bad, because fascists, is silly.
The concept that some bans have net negative consequences is fine, but there
is nothing to suggest that is the case here.

It's Facebook after all, so of course there is no privacy there. Imagine using
this service and with their total lack of privacy and having your preferences

What could be worse is if the same patterns and culture of allowing targeting
and monetization carry over to Facebook Dating from the rest of the Facebook
platform and organization.

Combined with romance scams[0], it seems possible that Facebook Dating would
provide narcissists, manipulators and fraudsters with a lucrative marketplace
to operate in.
