Ad free Facebook and Instagram is officially on. I’m trying to stay open minded but honestly it’s too expensive especially with this sneaky account center rule unless you’re in an unfortunate position where you need to spend a lot of time on these platforms.

Pass.
fuck Facebook… haven’t had an account since 2015-16
Just don’t use it - it’s not that hard.
Hopefully large social networks have not metastasized enough to prevent their death with this. I hope that they also decide to bully through this bullshit onto WhatsApp, which is heavily used throughout the EU, thus ensuring their death is even quicker. They’ve tried to copy Google Premium, but Google gives you the option to disable personalized data collections and ad serving.
now i know how much my data is worth
Who said anything about your data not being tracked and sold still?
That’s the approximate price meta gets paid just for serving the ad. I would imagine your data is worth much more than that.
Exactly that’s just the ad price for the data. Analytics, internal use and whatnot is a whole different thing.
Can’t we just use ad-blocks to make it as-free? 😂
