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.
Also I’m sure they will sell your data to whoever can pay for it.
A pay-to-see-no-ads is not the same as pay-for-privacy.
They do point out they won’t use your personal info in ads if you pay, by choosing the free option you consent for personalized ads
Doesn’t mean they won’t collect your info anyways. What has Meta done to prove that they are worthy of our trust? Nothing.
It pretty much makes it clear that they are absolutely going to continue collecting your data – they just won’t use it for ads. They wouldn’t have needed to specify that otherwise.
They won’t use it to personalise their ads, they’ll just sell it to their approved data vendors who all happen to be in the business of personalized ads.
This is paying to not think about a problem, not to solve the problem.
Like the personal ads is the only issue :')
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.
No! It’s actually free: Simply stop using Facebook!
You also need your family to not use Facebook (if they ever mention you they will collect that information)
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.
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.
well thats mark zuckerburg for you, but even then your data is still gonna be sold ig
Oh in Europe only. Not in the US. The news article should have specified that in the title
Nah, American news also fail to specify “only in the US” every time. So it’s kind of refreshing to see the tables flipped for once.
FB has become ransomware.
Always has
Sure, I’ll pay that - as soon as they pay me $15 per month for the data they’re stealing from me.
