Allowing Facebook users to pay to opt out of having their data used by the company would likely be an unsustainable business model, entrepreneur-turned-venture capitalist Ann Winblad told CNBC on Friday.

In an interview with NBC's "TODAY" show, which aired Friday, Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, said if users wanted to opt out of all of the social media company's data-driven advertising, they would have to pay for it.
