Facebook, Instagram Subscription: EU Consumer Groups Complain Against Meta |
Eight EU consumer groups have complained against Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, alleging that the subscription model breaches Europe's privacy rules. The groups claim that Meta is not complying with the GDPR rules on fair processing, data minimisation, and purpose limitation. Meta charges a monthly fee for users who do not want to see ads on their accounts, but the consumer groups argue that this means users have to pay for their privacy.
