Awful to see our personal privacy and social lives being ransomed like this. €10 seems like a price gouge for a social media site, and I’m even seeing a price tag of 150SEK (~€15) In Sweden.
By “free social media”, did you mean “no-cost” or “unhindered”? Because in my experience, at least 95% of people are completely incapable of judging their own online safety (especially in regard to the “no-cost” social media sites) just from their lack of technical background knowledge. I do not see why any of the stated groups should be exempt from that?
