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.
Well, I think people will just weigh up whether it’s worth it. 69p 10 years ago for WhatsApp keeps me in touch better with friends and family than £168 a year for whatever the fuck kind of hell hole Facebook is now.
