Facebook and Instagram to Offer Subscription for No Ads in Europe | Meta

To comply with evolving European regulations, we're introducing a new subscription option in the EU, EEA and Switzerland.

I had turned targeted ads off, on Facebook and Instagram. I still got ads but they were not targeted based on my data. I could live with that

Today I got a popup requiring me to pick an option of either accepting targeted ads or pay the equivalent of €13/$14 for an addfree experience across all meta platforms.

    That pricing is clearly insane and unreasonably high

      Then don’t use it. I don’t use Facebook every day.

        People who want to use FB every day (that doesn’t include me) shouldn’t have to choose between targeted ads, and excessively high pricing.

        They could have continued non-targeted ads or made the pricing reasonable

          People who want to use Facebook can pay, deal with ads, or just not use the site. This isn’t some huge scandal and nothing is really wrong here

            Why are you on c/Privacy when you don’t seem to care about data tracking and forced targeted ads?

              Because I browse the root website and don’t pay any attention to the sub communities. Are you wanting to speak exclusively to like minded individuals who never criticize or oppose your thoughts?

                Fair enough I suppose, just expect backlash here when you’re advocating for Meta arguably shitty things
