I had turned targeted ads off, on Facebook and Instagram. I still got ads but they were not targeted based on my data. I could live with that
Today I got a popup requiring me to pick an option of either accepting targeted ads or pay the equivalent of €13/$14 for an addfree experience across all meta platforms.
Do you seriously believe that ad-free means they’re not still tracking the hell outta you and aggregating from many sources you probably don’t know about like Patreon and shit?
Edit: and on the subject of personalized ads, I find it more worriesome when you can’t see whats going on. Its a weird paradox
I choose violence.
I would happily pay (not for Facebook, but as a general consideration) if you would give me an ads free eperience AND stop gathering data from me.
At this point what about donate to fediverse like Lemmy to get an ads free experence anyway but without beign forced by corps?
Well, yeah but it’s not what we usually means when we talk about data economy, aren’t we?
Brave is sketchy as hell, nobody should ever use them. Ublock I agree with.
Oh man I get to pay AND have my data taken? Collected by the corporation and stolen by hackers? What an amazing company, truly the leaders of the future of the web Meta is
