According to the latest data from Verizon-owned analytics firm Flurry Analytics, only 4% of iPhone users in the U.S. and 12% worldwide have agreed to app tracking. The news came after Apple rolled out its App Tracking Transparency feature with iOS 14.5 that lets users opt-out of being tracked.

How do you think FB makes money? From ads.

Refusing tracking would affect Facebook's ability to do targeted ads. It isn't an ad block feature. You'd still see ads.

Targeted ads enabled them to make more deals with more advertisers. Now, they have to revert back to blanket ads which are generic.

Basically, they've dramatically reduced the surface area for ad space because now instead of tailoring ads to a user's search history, users will now see the same things.

Yeah, it'll definitely affect their bottom line, but they certainly won't go out of business because of it.
