Meta has officially confirmed its decision to introduce a subscription plan for ad-free access to Instagram and Facebook for users in the European Union, EEA, and Switzerland. This move comes a few weeks after Meta first considered the idea, amidst regulatory pressure from the EU regarding the company’s ad targeting and data gathering practices.
The subscription plan is priced at €9.99 per month for web users, while iOS and Android users will have to pay €12.99 per month. Users who opt not to subscribe can still use the services for free, but will continue to see targeted ads.
Until March 1, 2024, the initial subscription will cover all linked accounts in a user’s Accounts Center. However, from March 1, 2024, an additional fee of €6 per month for web users and €8 per month for iOS and Android users will be charged for each extra account listed in a user’s Account Center.
LOL! You say that with a straight face? Once all the cash shit starts you seriously expect that shit to keep working?
I fail to see the logic in people using 3rd party clients and thinking they’re not still feeding these companies data.
If you care so much about privacy, you shouldn’t use Facebook at all. But for me, Frost has made Facebook useable at least. And it works now. Once it doesn’t, I’ll get rid of it
Agreed, and fair enough.
