But will they stop tracking and cross tracking your every move across the web? Because with all the paid options these sites offer I don’t really see a mention of not tracking you. Same back then when Reddit was still alive for me, for the sub they only stopped showing you ads but there was no mention of tracking.
I mean I won’t pay for Facebook ad-free thingy, I only go on the website 2-3 times a month so I could care less.
I’d heard the original saying was “I could care less, but I’d have to try.” Implying it would take effort which you weren’t going to do because that’s how little you cared.
That saying has no attestation anywhere, apparently.
Except you don’t get your privacy back. AFAIK the subscription model is only to remove ads.
That would be pointless. They introduced this in response to the EU not considering just mentioning the tracking in the T&C. You need to give informed and freely given consent to tracking. You cannot say “you can only access this service if you consent to being tracked”, you have to give an alternative. This paid subscription is meant as the alternative.
So the goal of this subscription is not to get people to subscribe, but to give people a tracking-free option so they can keep tracking them with the free tier.
It’s not buying privacy though. It seems to be just buying the removal of targeted advertisements, which could mean just the display of these adverts. All the tracking could still be happening. Is there any wording associated with this that indicates Facebook does not plan to track users who pay?
Paying… for… FB or Instagram… loool
So if I want both web and phone blocked it’s over $20 a month? Nope. Just don’t use it.
No, I don’t think so, two different price because AppStore and PlayStore take cut around 30% when you purchase through them. Meta is passing Apple and Google tax to costumers if they choose.
I think you should read the article
Regardless of where a user makes the purchase, the subscription will apply to all linked Facebook and Instagram accounts in a user’s Accounts Center
