I’d pay $20 to get my privacy back for the rest of my life.

Here's $40. Two privacies, please!

It's per year probably.

Again, still not a lot, but like someone told me once: It's not about the exact value but the overall amount.

$20 per person, multiplied by 1,000,000 users and now that's $20 million.

Facebook definitely has more than 1M users. Wham bam, techno monopoly mam.

I think the headline is poorly worded. Apple paid $20 a person to not have to respect their privacy. They did that because our lack of privacy is worth much more than $20 to them.
