bioemerl, 10 months ago to privacy in Meta offering two options. Either buy addfree experience or accept targeted ads

Oh my God you have to pay for a service you use?

The scandal! The outrage! The horror!

That pricing is clearly insane and unreasonably high

Then don't use it. I don't use Facebook every day.

People who want to use FB every day (that doesn’t include me) shouldn’t have to choose between targeted ads, and excessively high pricing.

They could have continued non-targeted ads or made the pricing reasonable

I would happily pay (not for Facebook, but as a general consideration) if you would give me an ads free eperience AND stop gathering data from me.

At this point what about donate to fediverse like Lemmy to get an ads free experence anyway but without beign forced by corps?

Kir, 10 months ago

That’s what I am doing, actually

They don’t even try to claim they’ll stop collecting your data. No one actually cares about seeing a targeted vs non-targeted advertisement; the targeting technology is the issue.

Paying Facebook $14 a month and still being tracked, just invisibly, solves nobody’s problem.

Giving them payment information makes it even easier to track you too.
