Meta announced the monthly subscription fee explaining that the move was so the company would “comply with evolving European regulations”.
“This includes how our lead data protection regulator in the EU, the Irish Data Protection Commission, is interpreting GDPR following a recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union and anticipating the entry into force of the Digital Markets Act .”
The fee, Meta said, will cover all linked Facebook and Instagram accounts until March. The social media giant will then start charging €6 for each additional account on the web and €8 for smartphones.The European Union top court ruled that under EU data privacy rules, Meta cannot justify using personal details to target people with personalised ads unless it receives their consent first.
