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.
I choose death.
I wonder how the EU is gonna like those two options
The issue with Friendica, compared to Lemmy/Mastodon/etc, is that you’d need your friends and communities to also move to Friendica, which hardly happens
https://consent.guide/cookie-or-pay-walls/ has the latest case law
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.
Well, yeah but it’s not what we usually means when we talk about data economy, aren’t we?
At this point what about donate to fediverse like Lemmy to get an ads free experence anyway but without beign forced by corps?
Brave is sketchy as hell, nobody should ever use them. Ublock I agree with.
Pay or not. They will still sell your data
