Ad-free != Privacy

Just because you’re paying $10 a month does not mean that Meta will stop farming your data. Sure, they won’t shove you any ads, but they will stockpile data for the day you decide that $10 (it’s not really $10… they will increase this price 2-3 years down the line once they feel they had gathered enough users, the Silicon Valley way) and then pump you with ads that cater you.

That $10 won’t give you any real privacy. They will still collect every bit they can about you.

The $10 will just not give you targeted ads. Most likely, they will still select things for you based on your profile and also sell information from that profile to the real customers.

Guarantee you pay $10 and your privacy still isn’t protected.

Buts it’s probably not gonna give you any privacy, they’re still harvesting and selling your data, you just don’t see the ads on meta platforms.

This is to appease regulators, it is not a viable solution for their users.

So much for the

“It’s free and always will be”

I can never understand how selling one’s information isn’t considered a form of payment.

well thats mark zuckerburg for you, but even then your data is still gonna be sold ig

FB has become ransomware.

Oh in Europe only. Not in the US. The news article should have specified that in the title

Sure, I’ll pay that - as soon as they pay me $15 per month for the data they’re stealing from me.
