Meta Platforms said on Monday (Oct 30) it will offer users in Europe a subscription plan to use Facebook and Instagram without advertisements to comply with the European Union regulations. The monthly subscription plans for users in the EU, European Economic Area and Switzerland, will cost €9.99 (US$10.58) for web users, while iOS and Android users will have to shell out €12.99 a month. The EU regulations threaten to curb Meta's ability to personalize ads for users without their consent and hurt its major revenue source. The world's most popular social media network has been under antitrust pressure in the EU. In July, it lost its fight against a German data curb order as Europe's top court backed the German antitrust watchdog's power to also investigate privacy breaches.

Meta was fined €390 million earlier this year by Ireland's Data Privacy Commissioner,  » Read More
