    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.

      Regulators that seems to have already unformally shoot down the proposal given that it seems to be against the GDPR.

    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.

    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.

      Bingo. They don’t give you targeted ads through their own platform, but the info is for sale for everyone else to do so.

    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.
