Mark Zuckerberg’s social media company Meta recently started offering subscriptions to Facebook and its photography subsidiary Instagram. For 10 to 13 euros per month you don’t get any extra content; it is an ‘advertising protection fee’ designed to comply with EU law. We analyze the background, what you get from the subscription – and how you can save.
That happened quickly: after a vague announcement in early September, the Facebook group quickly brought its optional new subscriptions to Europe. For a few days now, users of the Facebook services Facebook and Instagram have been seeing a window when logging in. “Make a choice about advertising” is the requirement – and the user is given the choice: continue to use ad-supported services or pay for ad-free use. You can’t click away from the window and immediately fall into the trap.
