Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Do they really think their service is worth 12-15 bucks a month?
No, it's a punitive fee.
If you need to use facebook for whatever reason, but refuse to opt in to targeted ads, we will punish you with this fee.
Yup, it's just a way to force people to give up this right.
I wish them the best of luck with this tactic. (not)
No
I'd maybe be willing to pay $12-15 per annum for no user tracking. But that price per month is a joke. They just want to deter people from paying by offering an inflated price, so they can turn around in a few months and argue there is no demand for it.
Facebook obviously makes more the 12 to 15 dollars per year per user on ads.
