    After so many rumors about Facebook charging for access, it’s hard to take this seriously.

      I think this will be aimed at mainly EU members after a law banning targeted advertising (without explicit consent) comes in which will mean a reduction in ad revenue to Meta, as a result they’re hoping to make up the shortfall by charging users for an ad-free version.

        Why would I pay for free ad when I would already get untarget ones ?
