I struggle with this: you have three options: ad-supported, paid, or don't use it. What's the legal challenge?
- RugnirViking 3y agothe option being discussed at that part, the meta offering, only came into existence because europe mandated that users must be able to use the full functionality of a site without tracking/personalized ads. The paid option was facebooks attempt to do that - the question is over whether a paid option follows the intent of the law. Note the mandate is not "no ads" but rather "no personalised ads"
- robertlagrant 3y agoAh okay - that makes sense. But still - I don't understand why if one of the options is "don't use it", an option I exercise almost every day of the year, there is a legal privacy claim. This isn't a system we'd consider access/participation in it to be mandatory, like healthcare or government.
