Whether you like it or not, advertisements keep the internet running. Although you can block advertisements from appearing online, those ads keep most of the internet free, which allows everyone of every economic status to access major services, including social media. However, the idea that some people would prefer to pay money for an ad-free experience has gained traction recently. The EU has even decided to regulate it by forcing massive companies to offer ad-free experiences to continue operating in the territory.
Today, Meta has done its duty to comply with this new law. Starting now, EU residents can opt to pay a monthly recurring fee to experience two of Meta’s most popular products without ads: ad-free Instagram and ad-free Facebook.
