It looks like this is a handlebars helper.
Handlebars is a temptating language.
I've never used handlebars but I'm guessing this is syntactic sugar for non-programmers. Like:
<div>{{if is-even myVariable}} it's even {{else}} it's odd {{endif}}</div>
This is awesome but I don't really understand.
The purported issue is that they don't have explicit consent for some data points. They apparently responded by saying they were going to charge a subscription.
Why wouldn't they just get consent? I'm sure most fb users will just agree to anything put in front of them.
I am ideologically opposed to this form of advertising.
Commercial enterprises can do what they want but I don't think it's at all appropriate for a public institution.
This stinks.
