Norway has succeeded in getting the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) to make permanent and extend across Europe its ban on Meta (Facebook's parent company) harvesting user data for targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram.

They're already starting their paid ad-free $10 a month tiers for Europe only. They'll stop showing advertising to underage people "for now". They're going to flood Europe with garbage ads and maximize subscribers that way.

I can't fathom people willing to pay $10 for Facebook and twitter .

They won't. They'll just sell their private data.

As someone who tried to make a living caring about people's privacy, people don't care. The only time they pretend to is when they need to explain why they buy the new iphone pro model yearly (but they'd turn on a dime if apple said "we're building an ad platform! Look how pretty our ads are!")
