In order to comply with the EU's "GDPR legal basis of 'Consent' for the purpose of processing data collected on our own platforms for advertising purposes", Meta will "offer people in the EU, EEA and Switzerland the choice to pay a monthly subscription to use Facebook and Instagram without any ads. They can alternatively continue to use these services for free while seeing ads that are relevant to them". It'll cost €9.99/month on the web or €12.99/month on iOS and Android should someone want to use Facebook in this way. As of March 1st 2024, there will be "an additional fee of €6 on the web or €8 on iOS and Android per linked account". Honestly, the ads are the least annoying thing about Facebook these days. Can we pay to get rid of the comments?
