Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a "Pay for your Rights" approach - eviltoast

The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta plans to move to a “Pay for your Rights” model, where EU users will have to pay $ 168 a year (€ 160 a year) if they don’t agree to give up their fundamental right to privacy on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. History has shown that Meta’s regulator, the Irish DPC, is likely to agree to any way that Meta can bypass the GDPR. However, the company may also be able to use six words from a recent Court of Justice (CJEU) ruling to support its approach.

    I haven’t used anything Meta-related in almost 10 years and my life has failed to disintegrate. It’s actually been lovely.
